Use this GND terminal to connect the ground (or earth) wire if
a turntable is connected. Refer to “Connecting components”
on page 10.
ZONE 2 CONTROL SELECTOR
This switch enables you to select whether the Zone 2 function
is controlled from the A-BUS system or from the IR system.
Sliding the switch to the left will select A-BUS system control, and sliding it to the right will select IR system control.
A-BUS READY
A-BUS is a simple, efficient, elegant audio distribution system. The wiring installation time is significantly reduced as
only a single CAT-5 wire is run to each location. A-BUS is
easy to use, reliable, affordable, and most of all, far better
sounding than conventional auto former based volume controls.
ZONE 2 OUT: Use a CAT-5 (eight conductor twisted) cable
to connect directly from the receiver’s A-BUS RJ45 Hub to
an A-BUS k e ypad. A-BUS outputs enable connection of up to
four A-BUS keypads.
War ning:
DO NOT connect ZONE 2 OUT to any computer or network
connections (i.e., Ethernet). It will damage the computer or
network components since 24-volt power runs on this cable to
power the amplifier stages of the amplifier module.
IR OUT: Another feature of the A-BUS system is the ability
to control source equipment in a room other than where the
A-BUS module is installed. If you wish to control another
source from the receiver at the A-BUS keypad by remote control, connect the A-BUS or another brand IR emitter on the
receiver’ s 40 K terminal. Then place the emitter on the remote
receiver on the front panel.
Typically, the emitter will work when you connect with a
40 K connector. If it does not work, try a 56 K connector.
DC INPUT: Connect the A-BUS power supply. Do not use
any other AC Adapter on this connector as it may cause
severe damage to the receiver.
Note:
Don’t insert an A-B US connector while Zone 2 or DTM5.3 is on.
ZONE 2 OUT
Connect the device that will be used in the remote zone (Zone
2). For more information on making the connections, refer to
“Connecting the remote zone (Zone 2)” on page 14.
12V TRIGGER ZONE 2 OUT, IN terminal
These terminals are provided so that you can use the DTM-
5.3 to control another externally-connected device. Connect
the component to this 1/8-inch mini-jack terminal. When the
set input source is selected, the device will turn on. Set the
12V TRIGGER terminal using the Zone 2 mode.
When the DTM-5.3 is in Zone 2 mode, this terminal outputs
at 12 V/100 mA.
IR IN/OUT
If the DTM-5.3 is located inside a rack or cabinet that will not
allow infrared beams to reach the IR sensor, you will need to
connect a remote sensor to IR IN input to be able to use the
remote controller.
Then install the remote sensor in an unblocked location at
which you can easily point the remote controller.
Using a mini-jack connector, connect the IR emitter to the IR
OUT terminal on the DTM-5.3 and then place the IR emitter
on the remote sensor of the component or facing it.
Refer to “Operating components not reached by the remote
controller signals (IR IN/OUT)” on page 15.
SPEAKER IMPEDANCE SELECTOR
The DTM-5.3 provides two speaker system connections
(SPEAKER A and SPEAKER B). Set the SPEAKER
IMPEDANCE SELECTOR according to the impedance of
speakers to be connected.
Warning:
Do not plug in the power cord during speaker system connection
and operation of the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE SELECTOR.

To connect components using the terminal, simply connect a remote control cable from this terminal to the
terminal of the other component. An remote control
cable with a 1/8-inch (3.5mm) miniature two-conductor plug
comes with every cassette tape deck, compact disc player,
MD recorder, and DVD player that has an terminal.
• When performing operations with -connected components
using the system, do not use the remote zone (Zone 2).
• For remote control operation, the audio connection cables
must also be connected.
• If a component has two terminals, you can use either
one to connect to the DTM-5.3. The other one can be used
to daisy chain to another component.

Connecting speakers
Connecting the speaker
You can connect two separate pairs of speaker systems.
Please connect each speaker according to the illustration, observing
the correct connections for R, L, + and –.
Check the speaker impedance, then set the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE
SELECTOR switch accordingly. Refer to pages 8 and 9 for details.
Notes:
• Do not use unnecessarily long or extremely thin speaker leads.
If the DC resistance of the speaker leads is too high, the damping factor will decrease, adversely affecting the sound quality.
• When you are using only one speaker or when you wish to listen to monaural (mono) sound, a single speaker should never be
connected in parallel to both the right and left-channel terminals
simultaneously.
SPEAKERS

• To prevent damage to circuitry, never
short-circuit the positive (+) and negative (–) speaker wire.
• Be sure to connect the positive and negative cables for the speakers properly. If
they are connected to the wrong terminal,
the left and right signals will be reversed
and the audio will sound unnatural.
• Do not connect more than one speaker
cable to one speaker terminal. Doing so
may damage the DTM-5.3.

Connecting antennas
To use the tuner of the DTM-5.3, it is necessary to prepare the supplied FM and AM antennas.
• Adjustment and placement of the FM and AM antennas for better reception is best performed while listening to a station broadcast.
• If better reception cannot be obtained, then placement of an outside antenna is recommended.
Assembling the AM loop antenna
Assemble the loop antenna as shown in the illustration.
• Refer to “Connecting the AM loop antenna” below for details
on connecting the loop antenna.

Connecting the included antennas
Connecting the FM indoor antenna:
The FM indoor antenna is for indoor use only. During use, extend
the antenna and move it in various directions until the clearest signal is received. Fix it with push pins or similar implements in the
position that will cause the least amount of distortion.
If the reception is not very clear with the attached FM indoor
antenna, the use of an outdoor antenna is recommended.
Connecting the AM loop antenna:
The AM loop antenna is for indoor use only. Set it in the direction
and position in which you receive the clearest sound. Locate it as
far away as possible from the DTM-5.3, televisions, speaker
cables, and power cords.
When reception is not satisfactory with the attached AM loop
antenna alone, connection of an outdoor antenna is recommended.
Connecting an FM outdoor antenna
Please make sure that you follow these guidelines:
• Keep the antenna away from noise sources (neon signs, busy
roads, etc.).
• It is dangerous to locate the antenna close to power lines. Keep
it well away from power lines, transformers, etc.
• To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is
necessary. Follow item 14 of the “Important Safeguards” on
page 2 when you install the outdoor antenna.

Hint:
Either of the split ends of the AM antenna can be connected to
either terminal. Unlike speaker cabling, there is no polarity for AM
broadcast signals.
Directional linkage
Do not use the same antenna for both FM and TV (or VCR) reception since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals can interfere with each
other. If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR) antenna, use a
directional linkage type splitter.

Connecting the remote zone (Zone 2)
The DTM-5.3 allows you to connect an additional set of speakers and place them in a different room or an area separated for listening to
music. This other room or area is referred to as the remote zone (Zone 2), while the room in which the DTM-5.3 is referred to as the main
zone. In addition, the IR IN/OUT allows you to control the DTM-5.3 from the remote zone (Zone 2) using the remote controller, even though
the remote zone may be physically separated. The diagram illustrates the proper connections for the remote zone.
Zone 2 connections
The ZONE 2 OUT terminal provides constant output. Connect to
the LINE input of the amplifier (CD, tape, etc.). Adjust the volume
with the amplifier connected to the ZONE 2 OUT terminal.

Controlling another component in the main room
via the DTM-5.3 from a remote zone (Zone 2)
In this situation, you will need to use a commercially-available IR
emitter. Connect the mini plug of the IR emitter to the IR OUT terminal on the DTM-5.3. Then place the IR emitter on the remote
sensor of the component or facing it. When the IR emitter is connected, only the signal input to the IR IN terminal is output to the
IR OUT terminal. The signal input from the remote sensor on the
front of the DTM-5.3 will not be output to the IR OUT terminal.
