Connecting a CD or Other Audio Source Component to the C 1
For the best possible sound, always use your source component’s digital output, if it has one. It is
not necessary to use the source’s analog outputs as well, unless you plan to record from this source
onto an analog recorder such as a cassette deck or to listen to this source in a remote listening zone.
(Digital signals appear at the main analog outputs but not the analog recording or Zone outputs.)
For FM/AM tuners and similar analog audio gear that lacks digital outputs, only the analog input
connections are used.
Note that the first six analog audio inputs, at the lower left corner (numbered Video 1 through Video
6), are associated with the composite video and S-Video inputs whose numbers they share. For
audio-only sources, it’s best to use inputs Audio 1 through Audio 4, as those inputs cannot be used
with composite or S-Video sources (they can, however be used with component-video sources).
