Connecting Your Components
Before Making any Connections
Always refer to the instructions that came with the
component that you are connecting.
Do not plug in the power cord until all connections
have been properly made.
Do not bind audio cables with power cords and
speaker cables. Doing so may adversely affect the
sound quality.
To prevent interference, keep power cords and
speaker cables away from the tuners antenna.
AV Connection Color Coding
RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red,
white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-
channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled R).
Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and
outputs (typically labeled L). And use yellow plugs to
connect composite video inputs and outputs. (TX-8522)
Push each plug in all the way to make a good
connection (loose connections can cause noise or
malfunctions).
The receivers PHONO input jacks are for use with
moving-magnet (MM) type cartridges.
Use an analog audio cable to connect the receivers
PHONO L/R jacks to the audio output jacks on the
turntable, as shown.
Notes:
If the turntable has a ground wire, connect it to
receivers GND terminal. With some turntables,
connecting the ground wire may cause hum, in which
case it should be disconnected.
If the turntable has a moving-coil (MC) type cartridge,
youll need a commercially available MC phono
preamp. In this case, connect the turntable to the
phono preamps input, and connect the phono
preamps output to the receivers PHONO L/R jacks.
Use an analog audio cable to connect the receivers CD
L/R jacks to the analog audio output jacks on the CD
player, as shown.
