Connecting Your Components Before Making any Connections • Always refer to the instructions that came with the component that you are connecting. • Do not plug in the power cord until all connections have been properly made. • Do not bind audio cables with power cords and speaker cables. Doing so may adversely affect the sound quality. • To prevent interference, keep power cords and speaker cables away from the tuner's antenna. AV Connection Color Coding RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect rightchannel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled "R"). Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled "L"). And use yellow plugs to connect composite video inputs and outputs.

Right! Wrong! Connecting a Turntable The receiver's PHONO input jacks are for use with moving-magnet (MM) type cartridges. Use an analog audio cable to connect the receiver's PHONO L/R jacks to the audio output jacks on the turntable, as shown. AUDIO OUT Ground wire Notes: • If the turntable has a ground wire, connect it to receiver's GND terminal. With some turntables, connecting the ground wire may cause hum, in which case it should be disconnected. • If the turntable has a moving-coil (MC) type cartridge, you'll need a commercially available MC phono preamp. In this case, connect the turntable to the phono preamp's input, and connect the phono preamp's output to the receiver's PHONO L/R jacks. Connecting a CD Player Use an analog audio cable to connect the receiver's CD L/R jacks to the analog audio output jacks on the CD player, as shown. ANALOG OUT 18
