•The digital jacks are compatible with PCM, Dolby Digital and DTS signals.

•The OPTICAL IN jack is compatible with a digital signal that has a 96 kHz or less sampling frequency.

•Press MD/CD-R to operate your CD or MD recorder. When connecting the CD or MD recorder to both MD/CD-R jacks and OPTICAL jacks and “* Input Mode” is set to “AUTO”, the OPTICAL jacks have priority over the MD/CD-R jacks. See page 78, “Switching Input Modes”.

•Use “* Input Assign” in the SET MENU to assign the OPTICAL IN jack to VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2 (“VIDEO” on U.K. and Europe models), VCR or MD/CD-R. The default setting is MD/CD-R.

For example, when connecting your game console to the OPTICAL IN jack, assign the OPTICAL IN jack to VIDEO 1, and press VIDEO 1 to start operating the game console.

Notes

Other Using Equipment

•U.K. and Europe models only have VIDEO instead of VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2.

•VIDEO is used as VIDEO 1 in above models.

For details about assigning OPTICAL IN jacks see page 89, “Using the SET MENU”.

•CinemaStation cannot output a signal to the MD/CD-R OUT jacks even when receiving a signal from the MD/CD-R IN jacks.

•CinemaStation’s digital and analog signal circuits are independent of each other, so analog input signals can only output from analog output jacks and digital input signals can only output from digital output jacks.

•CinemaStation’s optical digital jack is designed based on EIA standards. If you use an optical cable that does not meet EIA standards, it may not function properly.
