PHONO CD AUX VIDEO TUNER TAPE PLAY REC EQ PLAY REC L PROCESSOR terminals These terminals are used to connect a graphic equalizer or sound processor. They also come in handy for connecting an AV (audio/video) selector unit. Use pin-plug cords to connect the REC terminals to the INPUT terminals on the selected component and also to connect the PLAY terminals to its OUTPUT terminals. R OUTPUT PHONO CD AUX VIDEO TUNER TAPE PLAY REC EQ PLAY REC L CD/AUX terminals These terminals have an electrical performance which is equivalent to that of the CD terminals and the TUNER terminals which means that they can be used as the audio output terminals for a video disc player or TV tuner. Connect these terminals to the OUTPUT terminals on the component using the pin-plug cord.
