A-9030/9050-Connecting a CD Player

Please use the following guide to connect a CD player to the A-9030/A-9050 Integrated Amplifier.

1. Connect the coaxial digital cable to the COAXIAL D1 jack
2. Set the RI MODE switch to CD D1

Tip

• The CD player can be connected to the COAXIAL D1 or D2 jack or the OPTICAL D3 jack. However, when using the RI interlock function, be sure to connect the CD player to the COAXIAL D1 jack.

1. Connect an audio pin cable to the LINE IN 1 jack
2. Set the RI MODE switch to CD LINE 1 (A-9050 only)

Tip

• The CD player can be connected to the LINE IN 1/2/3/4 jack. However, when using the RI interlock function, be sure to connect the CD player to the LINE IN 1 jack.

If there is no sound:

• Make sure the integrated amplifier’s volume control is not set to minimum
• Make sure the correct input source is selected
• Make sure the integrated amplifier is not muted
• Make sure the speakers are connected correctly

If the sound is distorted or sound quality is not good:

• Make sure the speaker cables are connected with the correct polarity
• Check that each device is connected correctly and that the RI MODE switch is set correctly
• The connecting method may vary depending on the device that will be connected. Please refer to the RI connection section in the owner’s manual of the connected device.
• The integrated amplifier does not support digital formats other than PCM. Inputting a digital format other than PCM will cause loud noise.
• Check that the switch on the back of the integrated amplifier is set to the correct setting.
• Make sure all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way
• The sound quality can be affected by strong magnetic fields, such as those from a TV. Try moving any such devices away from the integrated amplifier
• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with speaker or power cables may degrade the sound quality, so refrain from doing it
• Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet
• Install the integrated amplifier on a sturdy rack or shelf. Position it so that its weight is evenly dispersed on its four legs. Do not install the integrated amplifier in a place with vibration or an unstable location.
