        10. Inputs and Outputs

        Audio

        • Phono Input: There is an MM phono input on Integra DRX-5.2 with built-in phono stage for connecting the moving magnet cartridge output of the turntable directly to the receiver.
        • Analog Pre-Outs: Integra DRX-5.2 and Sony STR-ZA5000ES have 11.2 preamplifier outputs which allow you to connect the receivers to the external power amplifiers. You may want to use a high quality external amplifier for certain channels, usually for front L/R and center, and use the receiver to power the rest. Also, both receivers have 11 channel processing but have only 9 channel amplifiers, so they need external amplifiers connected to the analog pre-outs in order to reach their maximum speaker configurations.
        • Analog Line Inputs: There are 6 pair of line inputs on Integra DRX-5.2 and 4 pair of line inputs on Sony STR-ZA5000ES for connecting sources with analog outputs.
        • Digital Inputs: 2 optical inputs and 1 coaxial input are available for digital audio connections on both receivers.
        • Headphone Output: There is a 6.3 mm (1/4") output jack on Integra DRX-5.2 for headphones.
