Connections (TX-SR700/700E)
Here is an explanation of typical ways to connect various components to the TX-SR700/700E. There are many ways that any one component can
be connected, and it is up to you to decide which method best fits your situation. The directions given here are only one option and should only
be thought of as such. It is best to fully understand the nature of each connector and terminal as well as those of your components and their
features to ascertain which method of connection is best.

Connecting your audio components
Below is an example of how you can connect your audio components
to the TX-SR700/700E. Refer to the diagram above for the following
connection examples.
AUDIO IN/OUT
These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are seven audio
inputs and three audio outputs on the rear panel. The audio inputs
and outputs require RCA-type connectors.
DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT
On the rear panel of the TX-SR700/700E, there are one coaxial
digital input, two optical digital inputs, one coaxial digital output,
and one optical digital output. To the digital inputs, connect CD
players, LD players, DVD players, or other digital source
component. To the digital outputs, connect MD recorders, CD
recorders, DAT decks, or other similar components.
• Since an analog connection must be made when using REC OUT
or ZONE 2, make sure that the connection to the input source is
not digital only, but analog as well.
• When using an optical input or output jack, always use an optical
fiber cable.
1. Connecting a compact disc player (CD)
Using an RCA audio cable, connect the output jacks of the compact
disc player to the CD audio jacks of the TX-SR700/700E. Make sure
that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right
channel to the R jack.
If the compact disc player has a digital output, connect it to either the
DIGITAL INPUT COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL INPUT
OPTICAL jack of the TX-SR700/700E depending on the type of
connector on the compact disc player.
With the initial settings of the TX-SR700/700E, the CD input
source is set for digital input at the OPTICAL 1 jack (OPT 1).
If the digital connection is made to a different jack, this must be
changed at “Input Setup” → “Digital Input” (see page 53).
2. Connecting a turntable (PHONO)
Using an RCA audio cable, connect the output jacks of the turntable
to the PHONO audio jacks of the TX-SR700/700E. Make sure that
you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right
channel to the R jack.
Note:
The TX-SR700/700E is designed for use with moving magnet
cartridges. For proper operation, connect a ground (or earth) wire to
the GND terminal. For some turntables, however, connecting the
ground wire may cause increased noise, and in such a case, a ground
wire is not necessary and should not be connected.
3. Connecting a cassette tape deck, MD recorder, DAT deck, or
CD recorder (TAPE)
Using RCA audio cables, connect the output jacks (PLAY) of the
device to the TAPE IN audio jacks of the TX-SR700/700E and
connect the input jacks (REC) of the device to the TAPE OUT audio
jacks of the TX-SR700/700E. Make sure that you properly connect
the left channels to the L jacks and the right channels to the R jacks.
If the device has a digital output, connect it to either the DIGITAL
INPUT COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL jack of
the TX-SR700/700E depending on the type of connector on the
device.
With the initial settings of the TX-SR700/700E, nothing is
allocated as the digital input source for TAPE (----).
If you connect the digital audio output, be sure to make the appropriate
changes at “Input Setup” → “Digital Input” (see page 53).
If the device has a digital input, connect it to the DIGITAL OUTPUT
(OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack of the TX-SR700/700E for digital
recording of the signal from the digital input of the TX-SR700/700E.
Note:
The output from the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack of the TX-SR700/
700E is only the digital signal input to the DIGITAL INPUT jack.
