■Analog jacks

You can input analog signals from audio components by connecting audio pin cables to the analog jacks on this unit. Connect red plugs to the right jacks and white plugs to the left jacks.

■Digital jacks

This unit has digital jacks for direct transmission of digital signals through either coaxial or fiber optic cables. You can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital and DTS bitstreams. When you connect components to both the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, priority is given to signals input at the COAXIAL jack. All digital input jacks are compatible with 96-kHz sampling digital signals.

Note

This unit handles digital and analog signals independently. Thus audio signals input at the analog jacks are only output at the analog OUT (REC) jacks. Likewise audio signals input at the digital (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jacks are only output at the DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks.

■Video jacks

This unit has three types of video jacks. Connection depends on the availability of input jacks on your monitor. The signals input at the S VIDEO jacks on this unit are automatically converted for output at the VIDEO jacks. When “Video Conv.” is set to “On” (see page 66), signals input at the VIDEO jacks can be output at the S VIDEO and COMPONENT VIDEO jacks. Likewise, signals input at the S VIDEO jacks can also be output at the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks.
