REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS
AC Power Cord
: After you have made all other connections, plug the AC
power cord into this receptacle and into an unswitched wall outlet.
Main Power Switch
: This mechanical switch turns the power supply on
or off. It is usually left on, and cannot be turned on or off using the remote
control.
Coaxial 1&2 and Optical 1&2 Digital Audio Inputs
: If a source
has a compatible digital audio output, and if you are not using an HDMI
connection for audio for the device, connect it to one of these jacks to hear
digital audio formats, such as Dolby Digital, DTS and linear PCM. Use only one
type of digital audio connection for each source.
Coaxial Digital Audio Output
: If a source is also an audio recorder,
connect one of the Digital Audio Outputs to the recorder’s matching input for
improved recording quality. Only PCM digital audio signals are available for
recording. Both coaxial and optical digital audio signals are available at either
Digital Audio Output.
Front, Center Surround and Surround Back Speaker Outputs
:
Use two-conductor speaker wire to connect each set of terminals to the
correct speaker. Remember to observe the correct polarity (positive and
negative connections).
6-/8-Channel Inputs
: Connect the multichannel analog audio outputs
of a non-HDMI player (DVD-Audio, SACD™, Blu-ray Disc™ or HD-DVD, or any
other external decoder) to these jacks. See page 25 for more information.
CD and Tape Audio Inputs
: These jacks may be used to connect
audio-only source components (e.g., CD player, tape deck). Do not connect a
turntable to these jacks unless you are using it with a phono preamp.
Tape Outputs
: These jacks may be used to connect a CDR or another
audio-only recorder.
Subwoofer Output
: If you have a powered subwoofer with a line-level
input, connect it to the Subwoofer Output.
AUX Input
: Enjoy audio from an iPod (not included), CD player or other
portable player by connecting its headphone jack to this input using a
1/8" (3,5 mm) stereo mini-plug cable (not included). Video and still-image
playback are not available at this input.
