7.1 Analog Audio Inputs Main Analog Audio Outputs Programmable Out

RCA Plug

Toslink Connector

What You May Need:

•One pair of unbalanced interconnects with RCA plugs

•One 75-ohm digital coaxial cable with RCA plugs (OR one optical digital cable with Toslink connectors)

•CD player with digital and unbalanced analog outputs

For the best possible sound, always use your source component’s digital output, if it has one. It is not necessary to use the source’s analog outputs as well, unless you plan to record from this source onto an analog recorder such as a cassette deck or to listen to this source in a remote listening zone. (Digital signals appear at the main analog outputs but not the analog recording or Zone outputs.)

For FM/AM tuners and similar analog audio gear that lacks digital outputs, only the analog input connections are used.

Note that the first six analog audio inputs, at the lower left corner (numbered Video 1 through Video 6), are associated with the composite video and S-Video inputs whose numbers they share. For audio-only sources, it’s best to use inputs Audio 1 through Audio 4, as those inputs cannot be used with composite or S-Video sources (they can, however be used with component-video sources).
