Notes for digital connections

The DIGITAL OPTICAL IN jacks can be connected to any component with an optical output so you can make direct digital recordings.

The DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT jacks can be connected to any component with an optical input so you can output digital audio from an MD.

Before making OPTICAL connections, remove the jack cover(s).

In order to protect the jacks from dust, be sure to attach the jack covers when the optical jacks are not being used.
