        9. Inputs and Outputs

        Audio

        • Phono Input: There is an MM phono input on Yamaha RX-A3010 with built-in phono stage for connecting the moving magnet cartridge output of the turntable directly to the receiver.
        • 7.1 Multichannel Input: In case you have a high quality Blu-Ray or a DVD player with multichannel analog outputs you may connect it to a 7.1 multichannel analog inputs of Yamaha RX-A3010 and use high quality DACs of the player instead of the ones in the receiver.
        • Analog Pre-Outs: Yamaha RX-A3010 has 11.2 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, Yamaha RX-A3010 has 11 channel processing but has only 5 channel amplifier, so it needs external amplifier connected to the analog pre-outs in order to reach its maximum speaker configuration.
        • Analog Line Inputs and Outputs: There are 4 pair of line inputs on Yamaha RX-A550 and 9 pair of line inputs on Yamaha RX-A3010 for connecting sources with analog outputs. There is also 1 pair of line outputs on Yamaha RX-A3010.
        • Digital Inputs: 1 optical input and 2 coaxial inputs are available on Yamaha RX-A550 and 4 optical inputs, 1 optical output and 3 coaxial inputs are available on Yamaha RX-A3010 for digital audio connections.
        • Headphone Output: There is a 6.3 mm (1/4") headphone output jack on the front panel of each receiver.
