Digital Audio Cords/Optical Cables

Commercially available digital audio coaxial cords (standard video cords can also be used) or optical cables (not supplied) are used to connect digital components to this receiver.

When you use optical digital input or output terminals, pull off the caps and insert the plugs. Be sure to insert completely.

(or standard video cord)

In order to use PCM/2 Digital/DTS soundtracks, you need to make digital audio connections.

You can do this by either coaxial or optical connections (you do not 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 receiver). The VSX- D710S has a coaxial input and two optical inputs for a total of three digital inputs. The VSX-D810S has a coaxial input and three optical inputs for a total of four digital inputs and the VSX-D850S has a coaxial input and four optical inputs for a total of five digital inputs. Connect your digital components as shown below. There is one digital out jack which is marked DIGITAL OUT. If you connect this to the optical input on a digital recorder (currently these include MD, DAT and CD-R) you can make direct digital recordings with this unit.

When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet.

The arrows indicate the direction of the audio signal.
