3:OPTO INPUTS: There are two TOSLINK inputs for optical digital audio.
4:SPDIF INPUTS: There are four SPDIF inputs for coaxial cable connections. Two inputs have RCA (phono) connectors, and two have BNC connectors.
5:AES/EBU INPUT: There is one AES/EBU (Audio Engineering Society/European Broadcasting Union) fully balanced input using a 3 pin XLR female connector for a twisted pair wire connec- tion of a digital audio signal.
6:USB input: There is a single USB, revision 1.1 compli- ant, input. When connecting to a PC it may be necessary to direct the digital audio stream from your computer through its USB port to the
