connectors
TAPE, CD, AV, DVD, SAT, VCR, PVR
Connect these inputs to the digital
outputs of your available source
equipment.
OPTICAL, COAX
Connect the optical or coaxial output
to your digital recording device such as
CD-R, digital VCR or Minidisc player.
When a digital source is selected,
the digital output will send an exact
copy of the incoming digital signal. For example, for a
5.1 digital source, the digital output will also be in 5.1
format.
When an analogue-only source is selected, this is
digitized by the unit and routed to the digital outputs.
ese outputs are muted if a source is selected where the
HDMI connection is used and is transmitting HD audio.
e digital audio from the HDMI link will not be routed
to these outputs.

Front panel AUX input
e front panel AUX input can be
used as an analogue or optical
digital input.
For analogue sources, use a stereo
3.5mm lead; for digital sources
use a 3.5mm optical lead. e
front input is also used for the
auto-setup microphone input.

MCH INPUT
Phono
is input can be connected
directly to a record deck
which has a direct output
from a moving magnet (MM)
cartridge.
MCH input
is multichannel analogue
audio input can be connected to
a source device which outputs
surround sound on its analogue
outputs. Such devices typically
include DVD-Audio and SACD
players. is input does not
pass through any of the audio
processing in the unit, therefore
functions such as speaker size
and distance from the listening
position should be copied from the Setup menus into the
Setup menus of your multichannel source. Note however
that speaker level trims are applied to the MCH input
on the unit. erefore speaker level trim settings on
multichannel source equipment should be le unset at
zero.
Analogue pre-amplifier outputs
All pre-amplier analogue outputs are buered, have a
low output impedance, are at line level and follow the
Zone1 volume control setting. ey are able to drive
long cables or several inputs in parallel if required.
For more information on connecting speakers or
additional power ampliers, see page 23 and 53.

Connect the le and right
outputs to the le and right
input sockets of your cassette
deck, PVR or VCR (usually labelled ‘
RECORD’). e PVR
and VCR connectors may be used for a second and third
cassette deck. ese outputs are xed at full line level.

equipment.
Front panel PHONES socket
is socket accepts headphones with an impedance
rating between 32Ω and 600Ω, tted with a 3.5mm
stereo jack plug. e headphone socket is always active,
except when AVR600/AV888 is muted.
When the headphone jack is inserted, the speaker
outputs and analogue pre-amplier outputs are
automatically muted.
