To connect to digital audio device

Getting started

English

You can enhance the sound quality by connecting either of the unit's DIGITAL OUT jacks to the digital input of an amplifier, MD, etc. by using an optical or a coaxal digital cable (optional). The digital audio signal from a disc is directly transferred. If you connect the unit to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder by using an optional digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.

When you make digital connection, we recommend also to make the analog connection, because, depending on discs, no signal may be output from the DIGITAL OUT.

When using the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack, remove the protection cap. Do not lose the removed cap.

When the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack is not used, fix the protection cap into the jack.

Getting started

•For digital connection, connect the unit's DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to the digital input of digital audio device using an optical or a coaxal digital cable.

NOTES

•When you connect the unit's DIGITAL OUT to a digital audio device, before using, set "DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT" in the "AUDIO" preferences correctly according to the connected audio device. If "DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT" is not set correctly, loud noise may be generated from speakers, causing damage to them. See "DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT" on page 50.

•When you connect the unit's DIGITAL OUT to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder (or amplifier with a built-in decoder) to enjoy surround sound, the unit's "D. RANGE COMPRESSION" setting in the "AUDIO" preferences is invalid. Make appropriate surround audio settings on the decoder.

•If your digital audio device has an AV COMPU LINK terminal, you can use the AV COMPU LINK function. See "AV COMPU LINK remote control system" on page 58 for details

To connect the power cord

When all the audio/video connections have been made, insert the smaller plug of the supplied AC power cord to the

unit's AC IN connector, then insert the other end to the wall outlet. Make sure that plugs are inserted firmly. The STANDBY indicator lights in red.
