Connections
Connecting Your Primary CD Player, continued
Do not plug in the receiver to AC power until you have
connected all your devices.
This section focuses on the connections from your 200-Disc
CD Changer to the VR-5700/VR-5090/VR-5080. Please re-
fer to your changer’s instructions for more detail about its
connection jacks and capabilities.
Each set of instructions in this section shows one of several
possible variations on connecting your CD player(s). For
further assistance on optional configurations, contact the
store where you purchased your CD player(s).

The Kenwood CD-3280M and CD-2280M 200-Disc Chang-
ers contain two CD transports. You must connect these de-
vices as though they were two CD players.

To Connect a Kenwood 200-Disc CD
Changer:

Changer to the receiver’s CD1 jacks. If you have a

TAPE2 MONITOR PLAY IN jacks as shown to the left.

tion methods—do not connect both. (The coaxial digi-
tal input jacks are available only on the VR-5700/VR-
5090.)
