Connecting analog audio components
To begin set up, connect your analog audio components (such as a cassette deck) to the jacks. For components you
want to record with, you need to hook up four plugs to the receiver (a set of stereo inputs and a set of stereo outputs),
but for components that only play, you only need to hook up one set of stereo plugs. You must also hook up your digital
components to analog audio jacks if you want to record to/from digital components (like an MD) to/from analog
components. See page 16 for more on digital connections.
When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from
the AC outlet.
• The arrows indicate the direction of the audio signal.
Note that the illustration above shows the VSX-2014i however, connection for the VSX-1014 is the same.
Tip
• If you don’t plan on using the spare audio jacks for video components (for example,
VIDEO1
), you can use these
for connecting another audio component, like a line-level turntable.
Connecting multichannel analog components
If you prefer to use a separate component for decoding multichannel formats such as DVD Audio and SACD, you can
connect a decoder or a DVD player with multichannel analog outputs to the multichannel inputs of this receiver. Note
that the multichannel input can only be used when
MULTI CH IN
is selected (see page 37).
When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from
the AC outlet.
• The arrows indicate the direction of the signal.
Note that the illustration above shows the VSX-2014i however, connection for the VSX-1014 is the same.
