DIGITAL CONNECTION

If you have a SAT receiver DVD player or CD player with a digital output, you can make use of an optical digital cable (not supplied) or coaxial digital cable (not supplied) to carry the audio portion of the signal and enjoy Dolby Digital sound quality. One optical or coaxial cable is needed for each SAT receiver, DVD player or CD player. When optical or coaxial cable is used, the analog audio cables are still needed if recording through a tape or VCR is desired. This receiver provides 2 optical and 1 coaxial digital input for the connection of your components. Connect your components (e.g. DVD, SAT or CD) to the appropriate digital inputs and refer to the "Input Signal Setting" section on page 20 to select the

corresponding digital input source.

Note: Optical and coax cables carry only the audio portion of the signal. A video connection must also be established for a SAT receiver and DVD player. S-video provides the best connection for the video portion of the signal. Composite video (yellow RCA connector) can also be used. It is important that the same type of cable (S-video or composite) that is connected from the Home Theatre to the TV is used to connect the SAT receiver or DVD player to the Home Theatre.

The diagram shown above may varies from your actual RF modulator, please refer to your RF modulator manual.
