Connecting AV Components

Types of Connection Cables and Terminals

In addition to the conventional terminals, the DTR-10.5 has various terminals that are capable of next-generation digital transmission.

Before connecting AV components to the DTR-10.5, make sure that your cable type matches the terminal shape and the signal type and that the cable length is appropriate for the placement of your connected components.

Audio cables

Cable names	Cable forms	Terminals shapes		Description
Optical cable
				The connection using these cable types trans-
				mits digital audio signals. There is no sound
				quality difference among these cable types.
				Note:
				Some optical cables have their own covers.
				Before making a connection, remove the cov-
				ers. When plugging in a cable, be sure to match
Coaxial cable				the connector shape with the terminal shape.
				Each optical terminal on the DTR-10.5 has its
				own shutter-type cover. For the DTR-10.5, plug
				in the optical cables so that the optical cable
				connector pushes the terminal cover down.
Audio connection				This connection transmits an analog audio sig-
cable				nal. Plug the red connector (R) into the right
				channel terminal and the white connector (L)
				into the left channel connector.
Multichannel con-			MULTI
nection cable			- CH
		FR	FL IN 1
		SUB	C	For USA and Canadian models, this terminal
				board is optional. The terminals for this cable
		SR	SL	type are for DVD players that are compatible
				with the DVD-Audio format. This connection
		SBR	SBL	transmits multichannel analog audio signals.
i.LINK connection				This terminal board is optional. This connection
cable				can be used for connecting i.LINK (AUDIO)-
(4-pin (S400) type)				enabled devices and to transmit digital audio
				signals. Also, multichannel analog audio signals
				from DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD format
				sources will be transmitted digitally. The
				DTR-10.5 handles only audio signals through
				i.LINK connection.
Ethernet cable				This terminal board is optional. The Ethernet
(CAT-5 Straight				cable is used for connecting multiple PCs or
type)		ETHERNET		network-ready audio components that consti-
		(Net-Tune)		tute a local area network (LAN). A LAN is a
				smaller network composed within a house or
				building. The connecting terminals for the Ether-
				net cables are often called “LAN port” or “broad-
				band port.”

*The audio input signal from the ETHERNET (Net-Tune) or MULTI-CH IN terminal will not be output to the HDMI OUT terminal. Also, the DVD audio or SACD audio input signal from the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal will not be output to the HDMI OUT terminal.

When you play a source in the remote zone (Zone 2 or Zone 3), the following restrictions are applied.

•When you play the audio signal from Super Audio CD or DVD-Audio format sources through the i.LINK (AUDIO) interface, the audio input signal from these sources will not be output to Zone 2 or Zone 3. With this connection, you cannot record from these sources.

•When you play the audio signal from the i.LINK (AUDIO) interface in Zone 3, only the PCM signal will be output as an analog source to the AUDIO OUT terminals. Similarly, with this connection, you can record only the PCM sig- nal as an analog source through the AUDIO OUT terminals.

•The audio input signal from the LAN port will be output only to the AUDIO OUT terminals as an analog source.

•When you play the audio signal from the PH or AUDIO IN terminals in Zone 3, the input source will be output only to the AUDIO OUT terminals as an analog source. Similarly, in this connection, you can record only the audio signal as an analog source through the AUDIO OUT terminals.
