* Connect to a turntable (MM) that has a phono preamp built-in. If your
turntable (MM) does not have a built-in preamp, you will need a
commercially available phono preamp.
If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type cartridge, you will need a
commercially available MC head amp or MC transformer as well as a
phono preamp. See your turntable’s manual for details.
Connecting recording components
Connecting the power
To connect your receiver to power:
• Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
Using rubber feet/pads for more stable
speakers
We recommend using the rubber feet (provided) to
achieve the best possible sound from your
speakers. The rubber feet prevent the speakers
from moving, providing a more stable platform.
Wall mounting your speakers
The speakers can easily be wall mounted by using
the keyhole slots.
To mount the front or surround speakers vertically,
use the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker
on a screw that is securely screwed into the wall.

Notes
• The AV receiver must be turned on for
recording. Recording is not possible while it’s in
Standby mode.
• If you want to record directly from your TV or
playback VCR to the recording VCR without
going through the AV receiver, connect the
TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to
the recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See
the manuals supplied with your TV and VCR for
details.
• Video signals connected to composite video
inputs can be recorded only via composite
video outputs. If your TV/VCR is connected to a
composite video input, the recording VCR must
be connected to a composite video output.
• The surround sound and DSP listening modes
cannot be recorded.
• Copy-protected Blu-ray discs and DVDs cannot
be recorded.
• Sources connected to a digital input cannot be
recorded. Only analog inputs can be recorded.
• DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t
attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs.
