Following these steps.Step 1 (page 5 to 8)Choose the location to setup the speakers and connecting the components.7 SETTING UP THE SPEAKER SYSTEMS• Do not plug in the power cord until all connectionshave been completed.• Be sure to connect the left and right channelsproperly (left with left, right with right).• Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete connectionswill result in the generation of noise.• Use the AC OUTLET for audio equipment only. Donot use them for hair driers, etc.• Note that binding pin plug cords together with powercords or placing them near a power transformerwill result in generating hum or other noise.• Noise or humming may be generated if a connectedaudio equipment is used independently withoutturning the power of this unit on. If this happens,turn on the power of this unit.Connecting the audio components (1)Decoders with 6-channelanalog outputs, etc.Connecting a tape deckConnections for recording:Connect the tape deck’s recording input jacks (LINE IN or REC) to this unit’s taperecording (OUT) jacks using pin plug cords.Connections for playback:Connect the tape deck’s playback output jacks (LINE OUT or PB) to this unit’s tapeplayback (IN) jacks using pin plug cords.8 CONNECTIONSTape deck or CD recorderAC 230 V, 50 HzAC CORDConnecting the AC OUTLETAC OUTLET• SWITCHED (capacity – 100 W)The power to these outlets is turned on and off in conjunction with the POWERswitch on the main unit, and when the power is switched between on and standbyfrom the remote control unit.No power is supplied from these outlets when this unit’s power is at standby. Neverconnect equipment whose capacity is above 100 W.NOTE:Only use the AC OUTLET for audio equipment. Never use them for hair driers, TVs orother electrical appliances.• Analog recording of signals input to the AVR-1603 in digital format is not possible. To record in analog, alsoconnect the analog signals of the player to the AVR-1603’s analog input terminals.• The AVR-1603’s OPTICAL OUT terminal is an optical digital output terminal for connection of a CDrecorder, MD recorder or other digital recording device. Use it for digital recording.AUDIO INAUDIO OUTFRONTSUBWOOFERCENTERSURROUNDAUDIO OUT
