■About the AUDIO jacks
•You cannot use both IN and OUT jacks for a same category simultaneously. For example, the signal input from the VCR IN jack does not output from the VCR OUT jack.
•CinemaStation’s digital and analog signal circuits are independent of each other. Analog input signals can only output from analog output jacks and digital input signals can only output from digital output jacks.
■Connecting a TV to an audio input
Enjoy TV sound with CinemaStation by connecting the TV audio output jack to the AUDIO IN jack using a commercially available audio cable. Press VIDEO on the remote control to input TV sound.
■About the DIGITAL AUDIO jacks
•The digital jacks are compatible with PCM, Dolby Digital and DTS signals.
•The digital jacks are designed based on EIA standards. To make a digital connection, use an optical cable that meets EIA standards.
•The OPTICAL IN jack is compatible with a digital signal that has a 96 kHz or less sampling frequency.
•You can use “Input Assign” in the Set Menu
(page 78) to assign VIDEO or VCR to the OPTICAL IN jack. The default setting is “VIDEO”.
