Connecting the AV receiver
—Continued
You can connect a DAT, CD, or MD recorder instead of
a cassette recorder.
■
Analog Connections
Use an analog audio cable to connect the AV receiver’s
TAPE IN L/R jacks to the recorder’s output, and use
another analog audio cable to connect the AV receiver’s
TAPE OUT L/R jacks to the recorder’s input, as shown.
■
Using Optical or Coaxial Connections
(playback only)
If you connect to a digital audio input, you’ll need to
assign it (see page 37).
• Use an optical digital audio cable to connect one of the
AV receiver’s OPTICAL DIGITAL IN jacks to the
optical output on your recorder, as shown.
OR
• Use a coaxial digital audio cable to connect one of the
AV receiver’s COAXIAL DIGITAL IN jacks to the
coaxial output on your recorder, as shown.
■
Digital Recording
If your recorder has a digital input, by connecting it to
the AV receiver’s optical DIGITAL OUT jack, you can
record digitally. However, because the AV receiver
doesn’t convert analog input signals to digital and vice
versa, only input signals connected to a DIGITAL IN
jack can be recorded in this way.
Note:
Don’t connect the recorder’s digital output to the AV
receiver when the recorder’s digital input is connected to
one of the AV receiver’s digital outputs. Doing so may
create a signal loop and cause a malfunction.
