Connecting a Component with a Line
Output (TV, game console, etc.)
Use an analog audio cable to connect the A-9377’s
LINE L/R jacks to the line output jacks on the TV or
other component, as shown.
Note:
• If your TV doesn’t have an audio output, connect your
VCR’s audio output to the A-9377, and use your
VCR’s tuner to listen to the TV.
Connecting a Power Amplifier
You can use the A-9377 as just a preamplifier and con-
nect it to a more powerful power amplifier.
Use an analog audio cable to connect the A-9377’s
PREOUT L/R jacks to the analog audio input jacks on
the power amplifier, as shown.
Note:
• Signals output by the PREOUT jacks are not affected
by the A-9377’s Volume, BALANCE, BASS, and
TREBLE controls.
• When the A-9377 is connected to a power amplifier, if
the power amplifier is off and the A-9377 is used on its
own, the sound may be distorted. To prevent this,
always turn on the power amplifier, or disconnect it
from the A-9377.
