        10. Inputs and Outputs

        Audio

        • Phono Input: There is an MM phono input on Marantz NR1509 with built-in phono stage for connecting the moving magnet cartridge output of the turntable directly to the receiver.
        • Analog Pre-Outs: Marantz NR1509 has 2.2 preamplifier outputs which allows you to connect the receiver to the external power amplifier. 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 5 channel processing but have only 5 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 3 pair of line inputs on Marantz NR1509 and 4 pair of line inputs on Onkyo TX-NR474 for connecting sources with analog outputs.
        • Digital Inputs: 1 optical input and 1 coaxial input are available on Marantz NR1509 and 2 optical inputs and 1 coaxial input are available on Onkyo TX-NR474 for digital audio connections.
        • Headphone Output: There is a 6.3 mm (1/4") headphone output jack on the front panel of each receiver.
