CONNECTIONS

Before connecting components

CAUTION

Do not connect this unit or other components to the mains power until all connections between components are complete.

Make sure that all connections are made correctly - that is to say, L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Some components require different connection methods and have different jack names. Refer to the operating instructions for each component you wish to connect to this unit.

After you have completed all connections, check them again to make sure they are correct.

The jack names correspond to the names on the input selector.

Notes

This unit handles digital and analog signals independently. Thus audio signals input to the digital (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jacks are not output to the analog VCR OUT (REC) jacks.

The OPTICAL jacks on this unit conform to the EIA standard. If you use a fiber optic cable that does not conform to this standard, this unit may not function properly.

Dust protection cap

Pull out the cap from the optical jack before you connect the fiber optic cable. Do not discard the cap. When you are not using the optical jack, be sure to put the cap back in place. This cap protects the jack from dust.
