Seffing up fhe sysfem

Make connections as shown in the following pages. When connecting the related system components, be sure to refer to the instruction manuals supplied with the compo-

nents you are connecting. Do

not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all

connections are completed.

Notes

1 Be sure to ltisert all connectIon cords securely if their connections are

Imperfect, socrrnd n?ay not be produced or there WIII be no/se inference

2 Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before plugging

or unplugging any connectIon cords Plugginglunplugglng connection cords without dlsconnectlng the power cord can cause malfunctions and (may darnage the unit

3 Do not connect power cords from components whose power con-

sumptlon 1s larger than what IS indicated on the AC outlet at the rear of this unit

Analog connections

Audio connectIons are tmade using RCA pin cords These cables transfer stereo audio siglnal in an “analog” form.
