A2 channel analog audio output terminals

Use either the XLR or RCA (pin) terminals for analog stereo output.

If your amplifier has balanced XLR analog audio inputs, connect the XLR jacks on the unit to the amplifier’s XLR jacks, otherwise use the RCA (pin) connections.

Use commercially available XLR or RCA audio cables.

Make sure to connect:

white plug q white jack (L: left channel)

red plug q red jack (R: right channel)

<When using these terminals, set “Analog Out” to “2ch” to downmix the multi-channel material to two channels (see page 21).

Note that if “Analog Out” is set to “Multi ch”, only the front L/R sound of the multi-channel material will be output from these terminals.

BDigital audio output terminals

Digital audio from CD is output from these terminals.

The unit may be connected using either coaxial or optical (TOS) commercially available cables to amplifiers or digital audio devices such as CD recorders, etc.

COAXIAL: Use RCA (pin) digital audio cable

OPTICAL: Use optical digital audio cable (TOS)

<The optical terminal is covered by a shutter. Make sure that the cable is firmly inserted, but do not force the cable when connecting it or removing it, in order not to cause damage to the unit.

<When using these terminals, set “Digital Out” to “ON” (see page 21).

<The DIGITAL OUT terminals cannot output the digital audio from Super Audio CDs.

CReserved slot for i.LINK (AUDIO) terminals

The i.LINK (AUDIO) terminals (4 pin x 1, 6 pin x 1) will become available after a future hardware upgrade (charged).

In addition to the digital audio from CD, the digital surround audio from Super Audio CDs can be output from the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminals. To enjoy surround sound from a Super Audio CD, connect the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal to a suitably equipped amplifier such as AZ-1, AI-10 (upgraded), etc.

Use a commercially available S400 compatible i.LINK (IEEE1394) cable (6 pin or 4 pin).

Following settings are necessary to use the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal:

•Set “Digital Out” to “ON” (see page 21).

•Set the i.LINK output setting to “60958” or “PCM” (see page 23).

Check the following settings if necessary:

Analog Out (see page 21)

Speaker Setup (see page 22)
