Pull out the cap from the optical jack before you connect the fiber optic cable. Do not discard the cap. When you are not using the optical jack, be sure to put the cap back in place. This cap protects the jack from dust. The OPTICAL jacks on this unit conform to the EIA standard. If you use a fiber optic cable that does not conform to this standard, this unit may not function properly.

s Connecting a turntable

These jacks are for connecting a turntable with an MM or high output MC cartridge. If you have a turntable with a low output MC cartridge, use an inline boosting transformer or MC-head amplifier when connecting to these jacks. The GND terminal does not electrically ground the turntable. It simply reduces noise in the signal. In some cases, you may hear less noise if you do not connect to the GND terminal.

s Connecting a CD player

Advanced Operation The COAXIAL CD and OPTICAL CD jacks are available for a CD player which has coaxial or optical digital outputs. When you connect a CD player to both the COAXIAL CD and OPTICAL CD jacks, priority is given to the input signals from the COAXIAL CD jack.
s Connecting an MD or DAT deck
When you connect a recorder to this unit, keep the decks power on while using this unit. If the power is off, this unit may distort the sound from other component. When you record from source component connected to this unit while this units power is off, the recorded sound may be distorted. To avoid this problem, turn on this unit. When you connect a CD recorder to both the analog and digital input and output jacks, priority is given to the digital signals.

Connecting Video Components
Introduction Preparations Before you connect any components, disconnect the power supply to all the components you plan to connect including this unit and determine which jacks are for the left and right channels and for input and output. After you finish all hookups, check them again to make sure they are correct.

s Using speaker cords

A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. One of the cables is colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove, or ridge. To make sure you always connect speakers with the correct polarity, determine the difference between the cables of your speaker cord, make a note of which cable you plan to use for which polarity (+ and ), and always connect the speaker cords consistently.
1 Strip off 9 mm (3/8 in.) of an inch of insulation from the ends of the cables. 2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable together to prevent short circuits.
3 Loosen the terminal knob by turning it counterclockwise.

Banana Plug

4 Insert only the exposed portion of the cable into the slot in the side of the terminal, and tighten the terminal knob.
If your speaker cords have banana plugs, tighten the terminal knob and insert the plug into the end of the terminal. (Except for Europe and U.K. models)

Caution:

(Except for Europe and U.K. models)
Connect the speaker cords with care to avoid creating a short circuit. If you turn on the power and there is a short circuit, this unit may be damaged even though the protection circuit automatically shuts off the power.
s About the q RF (AC-3) signal input jack <For China and General models only.>
If your LD player has an q RF (AC-3) signal output jack, connect it to the q RF (AC-3) input jack on this unit. For this connection, change SET MENU item 7D. COAXIAL IN (10) to LD-RF. If q RF (AC-3) and analog signals are input at the same time, priority is given to the RF signals. When you want to reproduce q RF (AC-3) signals, set the input mode to D.D. RF using INPUT MODE.
q RF (AC-3) signals cannot be output using the REC OUT selector. When you record sound or images from an LD player, be sure to connect the player to either the DIGITAL OPTICAL or analog AUDIO jacks.
Even if you connect an LD player with an q RF (AC-3) output jack to this unit, you cannot reproduce Dolby Digital sound from all LD discs. You must playback an LD disc encoded with Dolby Digital signals in order to take advantage of the Dolby Digital sound.
