If you wish to perform analog dubbing from a digital source, such as a CD or MD recorder to an
analog recorder such as a cassette deck, you will need to connect the analog inputs and outputs
as shown below, in addition to the digital audio connections.
NOTE:
• Do not connect the output of the component connected to the OPTICAL 4 OUT terminal on
the AVR-3806’s rear panel to any terminal other than the OPTICAL 4 IN terminal.
NOTE:
• The phono input can accept signals from moving magnet (MM) and high output moving coil
(MC) phono cartridges. If your turntable is equipped with a low output MC cartridge, you will
need to use a separate MC head amplifier or step-up MC transformer.
• If humming or other noise is generated when the ground wire is connected, disconnect the
ground wire.
Connecting a CD player
To connect the digital audio output from the CD player, you can choose from either the coaxial or
optical connections. If you choose to use the optical connection, it needs to be assigned. For more
information about Digital Input Assignment ( page 61).
Connecting a turntable
You can connect the turntable (MM cartridge) to the PHONO terminals.
