■Analog jacks

You can input analog signals from audio components by connecting audio pin cable to the analog jacks on this unit. Connect red plugs to the right jacks and white plugs to the left jacks.

■Digital jacks

This unit has digital jacks for direct transmission of digital signals through either coaxial or fiber optic cables. You can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital and DTS bitstreams. When you connect components to both the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, priority is given to the input signals from the COAXIAL jack. All digital input jacks are compatible with 96-kHz sampling digital signals.

Note

This unit handles digital and analog signals independently. Thus audio signals input to the analog jacks are only output to the analog OUT (REC) jacks. Likewise audio signals input to the digital (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jacks are only output to the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack.

Dust protection cap

Pull out the cap from the optical jack before you connect the fiber optic cable. Do not discard the cap. When you are not using the optical jack, be sure to put the cap back in place. This cap protects the jack from dust.

■Video jacks

This unit has three types of video jacks. Connection depends on the availability of input jacks on your monitor. The signals input through the S VIDEO jacks on this unit are automatically converted for output through the VIDEO jacks. When V. CONV. is set to ON (see page 61), signals input through the VIDEO jacks can be output through the S VIDEO and COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.

VIDEO jacks

For conventional composite video signals.

S VIDEO jacks

For S-video signals, separated into luminance (Y) and color (C) video signals to achieve high-quality color reproduction.

COMPONENT VIDEO jacks

For component signals, separated into luminance (Y) and color difference (PB, PR) to provide the best quality in picture reproduction.
