Connecting the Power Cord, Digital Connections

Getting Started

Digital Connections

By connecting the receiver and the source component through the digital terminals, sound reproduction quality will be much improved. In addition, you can enjoy multi-channel reproduction and some other convenient functions.

IMPORTANT:

•When connecting a video component using the digital terminals, you also need to connect it to the video jacks on the rear. Without connecting it to the video jacks, you can view no playback picture.

•After connecting the components using the DIGITAL IN terminals, set the following correctly if necessary.

–Set the digital input (DIGITAL IN) terminal setting correctly. For details, see “Setting the Digital Input Terminals” on page 22.

–Select the digital input mode correctly. For details, see

“Selecting the Analog or Digital Input Mode” on page 13.
