version Basic

The following methods are available for connecting to this unit. Use either of the methods to make

a connection.

The numbers prefixed with connectors indicate the recommendation order. The smaller the number is, the higher playback quality is achieved.

aDIGITAL AUDIO COAXIAL connector

DIGITAL AUDIO OPTICAL connector

When a multichannel audio (digital bit stream audio) is input, this unit decodes the audio to play back surround sound. However, digital bit stream audio signals for HD audios from Blu-ray disc players (such as Dolby Digital Plus and dts-HD) can not be transmitted.

When making this type of connection, you must change the settings on this unit. (v Input connector setting )

sAUDIO IN (Blu-ray) connector

This makes an analog audio connection. This type of connection converts digital audio to analog audio, so the output audio may be degraded compared to connections a.

nnVideo connection

The following methods are available for connecting to this unit.

aCOMPONENT VIDEO IN (Blu-ray) connector

This makes an analog video connection. This connection method separates video signals into 3 signals for transmission based on color components, achieving the best quality video playback among analog video connections, with less signal degradation.
