About the WMA9 Pro decoder

This unit has an on-board Windows MediaTM Audio 9

Professional1 (WMA9 Pro) decoder, so it is possible to playback WMA9 Pro-encoded audio using a coaxial or optical digital connection when connected to a WMA9 Pro-compatible player. However, the connected PC, DVD player, set-top box, etc. must be able to output WMA9 Pro format audio signals through a coaxial or optical digital output.

Connecting analog audio sources

This receiver features two stereo audio-only inputs. One of these inputs (CD-R/TAPE/MD) has corresponding outputs for use with audio recorders.

Connecting a component to the front panel inputs

The front panel inputs comprise a composite video jack (VIDEO), an S-video jack (S-VIDEO), stereo analog audio inputs (AUDIO L/R) and an optical digital audio input (DIGITAL). You can use these connections for any kind of audio/video component, but they are especially convenient for portable equipment such as camcorders, video games and portable audio/video equipment.

•Push down on the PUSH OPEN tab to access the front video connections.
