• Read the manuals supplied with your other audio equipment.
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed all audio connections.

The DX-C390 has analog and digital (coaxial and optical) audio outputs. The digital outputs offer the best audio quality, so if your digital recorder or amp has a digital input you should use it.

ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT

If your hi-fi amp or AV receiver doesn’t have a digital input, use the supplied RCA/phono audio connecting cable to connect the DX-C390’s ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUTs to your amp’s analog CD inputs.

Notes:

• RCA/phono audio connecting cables are usually color coded: red and white. Use red plugs to connect right channel inputs and outputs, and use white plugs to connect left-channel inputs and outputs.
• Push each plug in all the way to make a good connection (loose connections can cause noise or
  malfunctions).
  
  
  
• To prevent interference, keep audio cables away from power cords and speaker cables.

Digital Audio Output

If your CD-R, MiniDisc, or DAT recorder has a digital input, use a commercially available coaxial or optical fiber digital audio cable to connect the DX-C390’s COAXIAL or OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT to your recorder.

You can also use the digital outputs to connect to an amp that has a digital input, for the best audio quality.

Notes:

• With MP3 tracks, the digital outputs only work if the sampling rate is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz.

Optical Digital Output

The DX-C390’s optical digital connector has a shuttertype cover that opens when an optical plug is inserted, and closes when it’s removed. Push the plug in all the way.

Caution: To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.
