Connecting digital components

For proper decoding of Dolby Digital/DTS soundtracks, you need to make digital audio connections. You can do this by either coaxial or optical connections (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 output from the component to the coaxial input on the receiver). This receiver has both a coaxial and an optical input for a total of two digital inputs. Connect your digital components as shown below.

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

Conexión de componentes digitales

Para una decodificación adecuada de las bandas sonoras Doby Digital/DTS, es necesario efectuar conexiones de audio digital. Podrá hacerlo mediante una conexión coaxial u óptica (no es necesario que haga ambas). La calidad de estos dos tipos de conexiones es la misma, pero debido a que algunos componentes digitales sólo disponen de un tipo de terminal digital, es necesario hacerlos corresponder (por ejemplo, la salida coaxial del componente a la entrada coaxial del receptor). Este receptor dispone de una entrada coaxial y otra óptica par un total de dos entradas digitales. Conecte los componentes digitales tal y como se muestra a continuación.

Cuando conecte el equipo, asegúrese siempre de que está apagado y el cable de alimentación desconectado del enchufe de la pared.
