Digital Coaxial (DIG COAX)

Use a Digital Coaxial cable to connect an audio source with a Digital Coaxial output to the DH44’s Source Input as shown in Figure 3-2. Digital Connections provide the best audio qual- ity and should be used if available. If both a Digital Coaxial connection and a Digital Optical connection are present on the audio source, use only one. DO NOT connect both Coaxial and

Optical outputs to the DH44.

NOTE: Multi-channel digital audio formats (5.1, 7.1 etc.) are not supported by the DHSIP and DH44. However, many audio/video sources allow you to change the digital output to PCM Stereo. In most cases this will allow multi-channel audio sources to output a “summed” stereo signal through the digital output. Consult the audio/video source manual for details.

NOTE: Some audio sources which utilize a digital output require that you enable the digital output before it will function. If there is no audio present, check the setup menu of the audiosource to confirm that the digital output is enabled.

Digital Optical (OPTICAL)

Use a Digital Optical (TOSLINK) cable to connect an audio source with a Digital Optical output to the DH44’s Source Input as shown in Figure 3-3. Digital Connections provide the best audio quality and should be used if available. If both a Digital Coaxial connection and a Digital Optical connection are present on the audio source, use only one. DO NOT connect both coaxial and

optical outputs to the DH44.
