They're all the same, so you can use either of them. · jacks should be connected only to Onkyo components. Connecting them to another manufacturer's component may cause the A-9355/A-RV400 to malfunction. · Some components may not support all functions. [. . . ] · Make sure that none of the cables are bent, twisted, or damaged. · To use a turntable with a moving-coil (MC) type cartridge, you need a commercially available MC phono preamp (page 11). · Verify if the SPEAKERS selector is configured correctly. If "OFF" is selected, no sound will be output from any of the speakers (page 14). Noise can be heard. · Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the audio performance, so don't bundle them together. [. . . ]
