Connecting the HD7500 to your audio system is simple. Using standard RCA-to-RCA interconnect cords, connect the left and right Audio Output jacks on the rear panel to the CD input jacks on your receiver, surround processor or preamplifier. If your system includes an optional external digital-to-analog converter, or if you are using a receiver or other processor that has the capability to decode PCM digital input signals, connect the Coaxial-Digital Output jack TM to the Coaxial-Digital input on the decoder. Make certain to use a coaxial-style interconnect cable, as standard audio cables will not perform as well. NOTE: When replacing batteries it is always a good idea to replace both at the same time. When the unit will not be used for an extended period of time, it is also a good idea to remove the batteries so that the potential for corrosion or damage is avoided.
