Example of how to connect your equipment
Connecting your audio components
Connecting a turntable
Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the output
terminal on the turntable to the PHONO L/R jacks on the
TX-DS494. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel
to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.
Note:
The TX-DS494 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.
Connecting a CD player
Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the output
terminal on the CD player to the CD L/R jacks on the TX-DS494.
Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack
and the right channel to the R jack.
If the CD player has a digital output jack as well, be sure to also
connect it to either a DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL
jack on the TX-DS494 depending on the type of connector on the
CD player.
With the initial settings of the TX-DS494, the CD input source is
set for digital input at the OPTICAL jack. If the digital connection
is made at a different jack, this must be changed (see page 12).
Connecting a cassette tape deck, MD recorder,
DAT deck, or CD recorder
Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the output
terminals (PLAY) of the device to the TAPE IN L/R jacks on the
TX-DS494 and the input terminals (REC) to the TAPE OUT L/R
jacks. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the
L jack and the right channel to the R jack.
If the device has a digital output jack as well, be sure to also
connect it to either a DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL
jack on the TX-DS494 depending on the type of connector on the
device.
With the initial settings of the TX-DS494, the DIGITAL INPUT
jack for the TAPE source is not assigned. If you connect the device
to the DIGITAL INPUT jack, then this input source must be set for
digital input at the DIGITAL INPUT button (see page 12).
