*Digital Optical 3 Input: Connect the optical digital audio output of an audio or video product to this jack. When the Input is not in use, be cer- tain to keep the plastic cap installed to avoid dust contamination that might degrade future performance.

(Input/Output Status Indicator: This LED indicator will normally light green to show that the Coaxial 3 digital Ó jack is operating as an input. When this jack has been configured for use as an output, the indicator will turn red to show that the jack may be used for recording. (See page 21 for more information on configuring the front panel jack as output, rather than input.)

ÓDigital Coax 3 Jack: This jack is normally used for connection to the output of portable audio devices, video game consoles or other products that have a coax digital jack. It may also be configured as an output jack, to feed a digital signal to a CD-R, MiniDisc or other digital record- ing device. (See page 21 for information on con- figuring the Digital Coax 3 Jack to an output.)

ÔVideo 4 Input Jacks: These audio/video jacks may be used for temporary connection to video games or portable audio/video products such as camcorders and portable audio players.

Bass Control: Turn this control to modify the low frequency output of the left/right channels by as much as ±10dB. Set this control to a suitable position for your taste or room acoustics.

ÒBalance Control: Turn this control to change the relative volume for the front left/right channels.

NOTE: For proper operation of the surround modes this control should be at the midpoint or “12 o’clock” position.

ÚTreble Control: Turn this control to modify the high frequency output of the left/right channels by as much as ±10dB. Set this control to a suitable position for your taste or room acoustics.

ÛDigital Select Button: When playing a source that has a digital output, press this button to select between the Optical * ￿ and Coaxial Ó ￿ Digital inputs (See page
