Connecting the TX-NR901
—Continued
■
Using Coaxial or Optical Connections
(playback only)
• Use a coaxial digital audio cable to connect the
TX-NR901’s DIGITAL IN COAX 2, or 3 to the coax-
ial output on your recorder, as shown.
OR
• Use an optical digital audio cable to connect the
TX-NR901’s DIGITAL IN OPT 2 to the optical output
on your recorder, as shown.
You might need to change the digital input-to-input
source assignments (page 45).
■
Digital Recording
If your recorder has a digital input, by connecting it to
one of the TX-NR901’s DIGITAL OUTs you can record
digitally. Since the TX-NR901 does not convert analog
input signals to digital and vice versa, only input signals
connected to a DIGITAL IN can be recorded digitally.
Note:
Don’t connect the recorder’s digital output to the
TX-NR901 when the recorder’s digital input is con-
nected to one of the TX-NR901’s digital outputs. Doing
so may create a signal loop and cause a malfunction.
The TX-NR901’s phono inputs are for use with moving
magnet (MM) type cartridges.
Use an analog audio cable (RCA/phono) to connect the
TX-NR901’s AUDIO PHONO IN L/R inputs to the
audio outputs on your turntable, as shown.
Notes:
• If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the
GND screw on the TX-NR901. With some turntables,
connecting the ground wire may cause hum, in which
case it should be disconnected.
• If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type car-
tridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC
phono preamp. Connect the phono preamp to your
turntable, and then connect the phono preamp to the
TX-NR901’s AUDIO PHONO IN L/R inputs.
