To prevent interference, keep audio cables away from power cords and speaker cables.

DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT

If your CD-R, MiniDisc, or DAT recorder has a digital input, use a commercially available coaxial or optical fiber digital audio cable to connect the DX-7555’s COAXIAL or OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT to your recorder.

You can also use the digital outputs to connect to an amp that has a digital input.

Note:

The OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT has a dust cap for keeping out dust and dirt when it’s not in use. Remove the cap before con- necting an optical fiber cable. Push the plug in all the way to make a good connection. Keep the dust cap in a safe place for future use.
