When the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) terminal of this unit is used ( ➋ )

●Before using this terminal, remove the terminal’s cover by pulling it.

●Make the connection from this terminal to the optical input terminal of an amplifier by using a commercially available optical fiber cable.

*Use an optical fiber cable that conforms to EIAJ standards. Other cables might not function correctly.

●Be sure to attach the terminal’s cover when this terminal is not being used, in order to protect the terminal from dust.

●Set the level of signals output into an amplifier to max. by using the OUTPUT LEVEL buttons.

●This terminal can also be connected to the optical input terminal of a digital audio tape deck (DAT) etc. to record CD onto tape directly.
