■Audio jacks

This unit has three types of audio jacks. Connection depends on the availability of audio jacks on your other components.

AUDIO jacks

For conventional analog audio signals transmitted via left and right analog audio cables. Connect red plugs to the right jacks and white plugs to the left jacks.

DIGITAL COAXIAL jacks

For digital audio signals transmitted via coaxial digital audio cables.

DIGITAL OPTICAL jacks

For digital audio signals transmitted via optical digital audio cables.

Note

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 the signals input at the COAXIAL jack. All digital input jacks are compatible with 96-kHz sampling digital signals.

■Video jacks

This unit has three types of video jacks. Connect the video input jacks of this unit to the video output jacks of the input source components to switch the audio and video sources simultaneously. Connection depends on the availability of input jacks on your video monitor.

VIDEO jacks

For conventional composite video signals transmitted via composite video cables.

S VIDEO jacks

For S-video signals, separated into the luminance (Y) and chrominance (C) video signals transmitted on separate wires of S- video cables.

COMPONENT VIDEO jacks

For component video signals, separated into the luminance (Y) and chrominance (PB, PR) video signals transmitted on separate wires of component video cables.

This unit is equipped with the video conversion function. See pages 30 and 107 for details.

•See page 168 for the information on the input signal capability of this unit for the HDMI connection.

•When you set “Standby Through” in “Manual Setup” to “On”, this unit allows the HDMI signals input at an HDMI IN jack to pass through this unit and output at an HDMI OUT jack (see page 113).

Notes

•Do not disconnect or connect the cable or turn off the power of the HDMI components connected to the HDMI OUT jacks of this unit while data is being transferred. Doing so may disrupt playback or cause noise.

•The HDMI OUT jacks output the audio signals input at the HDMI input jacks only when “Support Audio” is set to “Other” (see page 113).

•If you turn off the power of the video monitor connected to the HDMI OUT jacks via a DVI connection, this unit may fail to establish the connection to the component.

•The analog video signals input at the composite video, S-video and component video jacks can be digitally up-converted to be output at the HDMI OUT jacks. Set “Conversion” to “On” in “Manual Setup” (see page 107) to activate this feature.

•This unit is equipped with two HDMI OUT jacks, however cannot output the video signals to the both HDMI OUT jacks simultaneously. You can select the active HDMI OUT jack. See page 54 for details.
