Connecting a Video Component
■Audio signal terminals
Be sure to connect the right channel (R), left channel (L),
input (IN) and output (OUT) properly.
■S Video signal terminals
Use a special S VIDEO cable (commercially available) for
the S VIDEO connection.
■Digital audio signal terminals
If your DVD/LD player, TV/digital TV or cable TV/satellite
tuner,etc. has coaxial or optical digital signal output
terminals, they can be connected to this unit’s COAXIAL
and/or OPTICAL digital signal input terminals. To make a
connection between the optical digital signal terminals,
remove the cover from each terminal, and then connect
them by using a commercially available optical fiber cable
that conforms to EIA standards. Other cables might not
function correctly.
When making connections between the digital signal
terminals, you should connect the components to the same-
named analog audio signal terminals of this unit, because a
digital signal cannot be recorded by a tape deck, MD
recorder or VCR connected to this unit.
Notes
• Be sure to attach the covers when the OPTICAL terminals are not
being used in order to protect them from dust.
• If your LD player has a Dolby Digital RF signal output terminal,
be sure to use the RF demodulator (separately purchased).
• No sound will be heard when connecting your LD player’s Dolby
Digital RF signal output terminal directly to this unit’s COAXIAL
DVD/LD digital signal input terminal.
y
• The input signal from the DVD/LD or CBL/SAT input terminals
is selected in the following order of priority with the input mode
set to AUTO: COAXIAL terminal → OPTICAL terminal →
Analog terminal. Refer to page 21 for details.
• All digital signal input terminals are applicable to sampling
frequencies of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz and 96 kHz. (Refer to
page 22 about 96-kHz sampling 24-bit digital signals.)
