      Inputs and Outputs

      Audio

      • Phono Input: There is an MM phono input on Denon AVC-X3700H and Onkyo TX-NR676 with built-in phono stage for connecting the moving magnet cartridge output of the turntable directly to the receiver.
      • Analog Pre-Outs: Denon AVC-X3700H 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, Denon AVC-X3700H has 11 channel processing but has only 9 channel amplifier, so it needs external amplifier connected to the analog pre-outs in order to reach its maximum speaker configuration.
      • Analog Line Inputs: There are 6 pair of line inputs on Denon AVC-X3700H and 7 pair of line inputs on Onkyo TX-NR676 for connecting sources with analog outputs.
      • Digital Inputs: 2 optical inputs and 2 coaxial inputs are available on Denon AVC-X3700H and 2 optical inputs and 1 coaxial input are available on Onkyo TX-NR676 for digital audio connections.
      • Headphone Output: There is a 6.3 mm (1/4") headphone output jack on the front panel of each receiver.
