Connecting Your Equipment
Connecting Digital Audio Components
Connect your digital components as shown below. The
2RF inputs for a total of eight digital inputs. In order to use digital soundtracks like Dolby Digital, MPEG or DTS (among others) you need to make digital audio connections. You can do this by either a coaxial or an optical connection (you don’t need to do both). The quality of these two types of connections is the same but since some digital components only have one type of digital terminal, it is a matter of matching like with like (for example, the coaxial out from the component to coaxial in on the amplifier). A DVD/LD player or LD player should also be connected to the special 2 RF jack (if the LD has one).
Hook up your digital equipment in accordance with this amplifier's default settings (see next page) unless you want to, or need to, change them. To do this see "Assigning the Digital Inputs" on p.80.
There are two optical digital out jacks (the CD recorder is connected to one in the diagram below). If you connect this to the optical input on a digital recorder (currently these include MD, DAT and
We also recommend hooking up your digital components to analog audio jacks (see p.22) in order to make recordings (some digital sources may be protected against making digital copies).
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.
