Connecting Your Equipment

Connecting Digital Components

In order to use PCM/2Digital/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-D409/D509S has coaxial and two optical inputs for a total of three digital inputs. Connect your digital components as shown below. There is one digital out jack which is marked PCM/2/DTS (VSX-D509S only) 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.
