DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT (coaxial and optical)

These are the digital audio inputs and outputs on the rear panel. There are three digital inputs with coaxial jacks and three with optical jacks. The inputs accept digital audio signals from a compact disc, LD, DVD, or other digital source component. For digital output, there is 1 optical output. The digital outputs can be connected to MD recorders, CD recorders, DAT decks, or other similar components.

Since an analog connection must be made when using REC OUT or ZONE 2, make sure that the connection to the input source is not digital only, but analog as well.

When using one of the optical input or output jacks, remove the protective cap and keep it safely. When the jack is not used, replace the protective cap.

When using an optical input or output jack, always use an optical fiber cable.
