pWhen making digital hookups

Digital hookups allow you to transmit the digital source signal from the CD directly to another component without any deterioration. You can connect the digital outputs to other digital components such as a digital amplifier, D/A converter, DAT, or MD. When you connect a DAT or MD, you can make digital recordings from CDs. Note that you cannot use the fade in or fade out function (page 16) when recording with this connection.

•If you have a digital component with a coaxial digital input connector

Connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) connector using the coaxial cable (not supplied).

Getting Started

After making connections, set the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL switch on the rear to ON. When not using the optical output, set the switch to OFF.

•If you have a digital component (such as an amplifier) with a balanced input connector

Connect the component via the BALANCED connector using a XLR-3-32 cannon connector or equivalent (not supplied). A balanced connection is highly resistant to external noise and often used by professionals in studios and broadcasting stations.
