Do not connect the power cord to an AC outlet on your amplifier. If you connect the power cord to a "SWITCHED" AC outlet on an amplifier, you will not be able to use this unit's memory function.

BConnecting the OPTICAL FIBER CABLE

This unit can be connected to an amplifier equipped with an optical digital jack.

2.Use an optical fiber cable to connect the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL jack of this unit to the optical input jack of the amplifier.

•Align the plug of the optical fiber cable with the optical digital jack and fully insert the plug to make a secure connection.

Use a separately sold optical fiber cable for the optical digital jack connections.

Precautions concerning use of optical fiber cables

•Fully insert the optical fiber cable plugs all the way into the jacks.

•Be careful not to fold or crimp the cable. When coiling an optical fiber cable for storage, make sure the diameter of the coil is 15 cm (6 in.) or larger.

•Use an optical fiber cable with a length of 3 m ( 10 ft.) or less.

•Protect the optical fiber cable plugs from scratches and dust.

•When the unit is not connected using an optical fiber cable, be sure to keep the protective dust cap plugged into the optical digital output jack at all times.
