Line in and optical
You can listen to audio from an external analogue audio
source by connecting it to Line in 1 or 2 or a digital source by
connecting it to Optical 1 or 2.
Phono
Your R7 includes a high-fidelity phono stage pre-amplifier for
use with a moving magnet (MM) turntable cartridge.
It is not designed for a moving coil type cartridge.
To connect a turntable to your R7, we recommend high quality
phono leads.
Input level adjustment
For best audio performance, we recommend you balance the
volume level of an external device (eg portable music player or
turntable) so its volume is about the same as inbuilt sources
like CD or USB.
If the volume is lower, increase the input level.
If the volume is higher or distorts, decrease the input level.
You can adjust the input level by selecting MENU > Input
level and choose your desired level.
If your external audio source has a volume control you may
also need to adjust that.
