PREPARATION
English
If your CD player, MD recorder, LD player, DVD player, TV/satellite tuner, etc. are equipped with coaxial or optical digital audio signal output terminals, they can be connected to this unit’s COAXIAL or OPTICAL, or both terminals.
Digital audio signals are transmitted with less loss than analog audio signals. In addition, digital audio signal connections are necessary, especially for an LD player, a DVD player or a CD player to send signals encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS to this unit.
To make an optical digital connection between this unit and an external unit, remove the cover from each optical terminal, and then connect them by using a commercially available optical fiber cable that conforms to EIAJ standards. Other cables might not function correctly.
Even if you connect an audio/video unit to the OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) terminal of this unit, you must keep the unit connected with the same named analog audio signal terminals of this unit, because digital signal cannot be recorded by a tape deck or VCR connected to only analog audio signal terminals of this unit. You can switch the selection of input signals between “digital” and “analog” easily. (See page 37 for details.)
*However, if you connect an MD recorder or DAT to this unit’s OPTICAL TAPE/MD IN and OUT terminals, it can record input sources connected to this unit’s OPTICAL digital signal input terminals.
Notes
●When you connect an audio/video unit to both of the digital and analog terminals of this unit, make sure to connect to both terminals of the same name.
●Be sure to attach the covers when the OPTICAL terminals are not being used, in order to protect the terminals from dust.
●In order to make this unit perform successful
●All digital audio signal input terminals are applicable to the sampling frequency of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.
