1DIGITAL IN terminals (see page 22)

Use these terminals to input the signal from a DVD, CD player or any other kind of digital player. To be able to play Dolby Digital and other surround soundtracks you need to make digital connections. To do this use the digital terminals here. If you don't connect as per the default settings (see page 23) you need to complete "Assigning the Digital Inputs" (see page 91).

2DIGITAL OUT terminals (see page 22)

Use these terminals to output a digital signal to a DVD-R, CD-R, MD recorder or any other kind of digital recorder.
