To tune manually, tap the button lightly and
note that the tuner will step up one frequency
increment per button press. When the button is
held for a few seconds you will note that the
unit will quickly search the frequency band.
Release it once the fast tuning starts; the tuner
will automatically scan for the next station with
an acceptable signal and then stop.

Digital Optical 3 Input: Connect the opti-
cal digital output of an audio or video product to
this jack. When the input is not in use, be certain
to keep the plastic cap installed to avoid dust
contamination that might degrade future
performance.
$
Input/Output Status Indicator: These
LED indicators will normally light green to show
that the front panel Video 4 A/V jacks or the
Coaxial 3 digital jack is operating as an input.
When either of these jacks has been configured
for use as an output, the indicator will turn red
to show that the jack may be used for recording.
(See page 20 for more information on configur-
ing the front panel jacks as outputs, rather than
inputs.)
%
Digital Coax 3 Jack: This jack is normally
used for connection to the output of portable
audio devices, video game consoles or other
products that have a coax digital jack. It may
also be configured as an output jack, to feed a
digital signal to a CD-R, MiniDisc or other digi-
tal recording device. (See page 31 for informa-
tion on configuring the Digital Coax 3 Jack to
an output.)

Video 4 Input Jacks: These audio/video
jacks may be used for temporary connection to
video games or portable audio/video products
such as camcorders and portable audio players.
