2Connecting digital audio source equipment

The TX-DS656 has three digital input terminals. Therefore, you can connect up to three digital audio sources, such as a CD player, MD recorder, or DAT deck, etc., using optical and coaxial cables.

Note:

Even if the digital source is connected via optical or coaxial cable, it also must be connected via audio connection cables. The TX-DS656 receives analog signals from input source equipment only during recording or when the Multi-source function is enabled.
