CONNECTIONS

Connecting audio equipment

The following illustrations show how to connect a CD player, MD recorder, etc. using both analog and digital connections. However, it’s not necessary to make both connections.

Audio connections

●Be careful not to mix up the left and right connections.

●If you wish to record analog sound signals inputted to this unit, connect the analog inputs of a tape deck or MD recorder to this unit’s REC OUT.

Notes

●Connecting a turntable

A turntable cannot be connected to this unit directly. Use a commercially available phono preamp to connect a turntable to this unit, or connect a turntable incorporated with a phono equalizer amplifier.

●The REC OUT and DIGITAL OPT OUT can be used at the same time since they output signals independently.

Digital connections

If you wish to record digital sound signals inputted to this unit, connect the optical digital input of an MD recorder or a DAT deck to this unit’s DIGITAL OPT OUT.

Notes

●When playing an ordinary CD on this unit following playback of a CD or an LD encoded with DTS, some operations, such as resetting the input selector keys, may be required.

●If some data processing (e.g. volume level changes) is applied to DTS-encoded signals on the CD, DVD or LD player, this unit will not recognize the signals as DTS-encoded signals. Because of this, this unit cannot reproduce a DTS-encoded source played on such a player even if it is connected to this unit with a digital connection.

●When an error occurs in the player’s digital output data during playback of an LD or CD encoded with DTS, playback may be disrupted. If this occurs, stop playback and repower the player.

●When digital sound signals from the computer are played, errors in WAV signals, etc. may occur resulting in noise or a playback failure.
