Connecting Your Equipment

Digital Connections

In order to use Dolby Digital/DTS soundtracks you need to make digital audio connections. You can do this by either coaxial or optical connections (you don’t need to do both). The quality of these two types of connections is the same but since some digital components only have one type of digital terminal, it is a matter of matching like with like (for example, the coaxial out from the component to coaxial in on the receiver). The VSX-27TX/26TX/24TX has two coaxial and two optical inputs for a total of four digital inputs. For the VSX-27TX, a DVD/LD player or LD player should be connected to a digital jack and the special AC-3 RF jack (if the LD has one) as well as a pair of analog jacks (see the previous page). Connect your digital components as shown below. There is one digital out jack which is marked PCM/

/DTS OUT. If you connect this to the optical input on a digital recorder (currently these include MD, DAT, and CD-R) you can make direct digital recordings with this unit.

When connecting your equipment always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet.

NOTE :

• Only the VSX-27TX has a RF IN jack.
