Connecting your equipment

En
When you set up the receiver you’ll need to tell the 
receiver which input you connected the component to 
(see also The Input Setup menu on page 43).
• If  your turntable has line-level outputs (i.e., it has a 
built-in phono pre-amp), connect it to the CD inputs 
instead.
• If  you’re connecting a recorder, connect the analog 
audio outputs to the analog audio inputs on the 
recorder.
About the WMA9 Pro decoder
This unit has an on-board Windows Media™ Audio 9 
Professional
1
 (WMA9 Pro) decoder, so it is possible to 
playback WMA9 Pro-encoded audio using HDMI, coaxial 
or optical digital connection when connected to a WMA9 
Pro-compatible player. However, the connected DVD 
player, set-top box, etc. must be able to output WMA9 Pro 
format audio signals through a coaxial or optical digital 
output.
Connecting additional amplifiers
This receiver has more than enough power for any home 
use, but it’s possible to add additional amplifiers to every 
channel of your system using the pre-outs. Make the 
connections shown below to add amplifiers to power 
your speakers.
• You can use the additional amplifier on the surround 
back channel pre-outs for a single speaker as well. In 
this case plug the amplifier into the left (L (Single)
terminal only.
• The sound from the surround back terminals will 
depend on how you have configured the Surround 
back speaker setting
 on page 91.
• To  hear sound only from the pre-outs, switch the 
speaker system to OFF, or simply disconnect any 
speakers that are connected directly to the receiver.
If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker 
setting (see Speaker Setting on page 91) to LARGE.
Note
1 • Windows Media and the Windows logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other 
countries.
• With WMA9 Pro, sound problems may occur depending on your computer system. Note that WMA9 Pro 96 kHz sources will be 
downsampled to 48 kHz.
