Connecting an Audio Component

Contents ≫ Connections ≫ Playback ≫ Setup

This is a connection example of an audio component. Connect a CD player using a digital optical cable or analog audio cable. You can also connect a turntable that

has an MM-type cartridge to the PHONO jack.

• Only PCM audio is supported for input through the DIGITAL IN OPTICAL/

COAXIAL jacks. Set the audio output on the external device to output PCM.

• If the turntable has a built-in phono equalizer, connect it to any of the AUDIO IN jacks other than the PHONO jack. Further, if the turntable uses an MC type cartridge, install a phono equalizer compatible with the MC type cartridge between the unit and the turntable, and then connect it to any of the AUDIO IN jacks other than the PHONO jack.

If the turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the GND

terminal of this unit.

• By connecting an Onkyo component with RI jack to the unit by using an RI cable and an analog audio cable, you can link the unit’s power and input

selection and enable operation with this unit’s remote controller. For details, refer to the instruction manual of the component with the RI jack.

• Part of the function may not operate even if it is connected via RI depending

on the equipment.

• The RI dock function does not work if ZONE 2 is on.

• When connecting an RI dock, you must rename the input selectors on the unit to make the system link work. Select the GAME input selector to display

"GAME" on the main unit display. Then press and hold RETURN on the main

unit for 3 seconds to switch the display to "DOCK".
