Hookup Overview
The amplifier allows you to connect and control the
following audio components. Follow the hookup
procedure indicated for each component that you want
to connect.
To learn the location and name of each jack, see ”Rear
Panel Descriptions” on page 9.
Before you get started
• Turn off the power to all components before making
any connections.
• Do not connect the mains leads of the various
components until all connections are completed.
• Use the audio connecting cords supplied with each
component for hooking up with the amplifier.
Purchase and use optionally available cords as
required.
• Be sure to make connections firmly to prevent hum
and noise.
• When connecting an audio connecting cord, be sure
to match the R(right) and L(left) jacks of the
amplifier to the R and L jacks on the other
components.
