5. CONNECTING DIGITAL INS AND OUT

• The OPTICAL and the COAXIAL DIGITAL OUTs of the components that are connected to this unit can be connected to these DIGITAL INs.

• A digital input should be connected to the components such as a CD player, DVD player, etc. capable of outputting DTS Digital Surround, Dolby Digital or PCM format digital signals, etc.

• If the component with OPTICAL IN jack is connected to the OPTICAL OUT jack of this unit, you can record the high quality sound of CDs, etc. without degradation.

• For details, refer to the operating instructions of the component connected.

• When making the COAXIAL DIGITAL connection, be sure to use a 75 Ω COAXIAL cord, not a conventional AUDIO cord.

• All of the commercially available optical fiber cords cannot be used for the equipment. If there is an optical fiber cord which cannot be connected to your equipment, consult your dealer or nearest service organization.

■Notes :

•Be sure to make either a OPTICAL or a COAXIAL DIGITAL connection on each component. (You don’t need to do both.)

•Depending on the digital audio signal format input into the HDMI IN connector, some digital signals cannot be output from the OPTICAL OUT jack.

■Digital input default settings

•If you connect the DIGITAL INs to your components, it is easier to do so following the default settings.

•If your DIGITAL connections are different from default settings, you should assign the DIGITAL INs you used with the "When selecting the AUDIO ASSIGN" procedure on page 57.

•The default settings are as follows :

OPTICAL IN 1:VIDEO 1, OPTICAL IN 2:VIDEO 2, OPTICAL IN 3:VIDEO 3, (Front) OPTICAL IN 4: VIDEO 4,

COAXIAL IN 1 : CD, COAXIAL IN 2 : AUX.

6. CONNECTING PRE OUTS

• Use these jacks when adding additional power amplifiers.

• Connect the PRE OUT jacks to the powered speakers or the power amplifiers connected to speakers respectively.

• When using only one surround back speaker, connect the SURROUND BACK LEFT jack to the power amplifier.

•To emphasize the deep bass sounds, connect a powered subwoofer.

■Notes :

• After installing the speakers, first adjust the speaker settings according to your environment and speaker layout (For details, "SETTING THE SPEAKER/ROOM EQ SETUP" on page 61.)
