Connecting the DX-C390
Read the manuals supplied with your other audio
equipment.
Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed
all audio connections.
The DX-C390 has analog and digital (coaxial and opti-
cal) audio outputs. The digital outputs offer the best
audio quality, so if your digital recorder or amp has a
digital input you should use it.
ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT
If your hi-fi amp or AV receiver doesn’t have a digital
input, use the supplied RCA/phono audio connecting
cable to connect the DX-C390’s ANALOG AUDIO
OUTPUTs to your amp’s analog CD inputs.
Notes:
RCA/phono audio connecting cables are usually color
coded: red and white. Use red plugs to connect right-
channel inputs and outputs, and use white plugs to
connect left-channel inputs and outputs.
Push each plug in all the way to
make a good connection (loose
connections can cause noise or
malfunctions).
To prevent interference, keep
audio cables away from power
cords and speaker cables.
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
If your CD-R, MiniDisc, or DAT recorder has a digital
input, use a commercially available coaxial or optical
fiber digital audio cable to connect the DX-C390’s
COAXIAL or OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
to your recorder.
You can also use the digital outputs to connect to an amp
that has a digital input, for the best audio quality.
Notes:
With MP3 tracks, the digital outputs only work if the
sampling rate is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz.
The OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO
OUTPUT has a dust cap for keep-
ing out dust and dirt when it’s not
in use. Remove the cap before
connecting an optical fiber cable.
Push the plug in all the way to
make a good connection. Keep the
dust cap in a safe place for future use.
