Digital Optical 4 Input:
Connect the optical
digital audio 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 Indicators:
These
LED indicators will normally light green to show
that the front panel Video 4 A/V
Ô
jacks or the
Coaxial 4 digital
Ó
jack is operating as an
input. When either of these jacks has been con-
figured for use as an output, the indicator will
turn red to show that the jack may be used for
recording. (See page 45 for more information on
configuring the front panel jacks as outputs,
rather than inputs.)
Ó
Digital Coax 4 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 digital
recording device. (See page 45 for information
on configuring the Digital Coax 4 Jack to an
output.)
Ô
Video 4 Input/Output 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. They may also be configured as
output jacks (also S-Video) to feed a signal to
any recording Audio or Video device (see page 45
for more information).

these indicators. Note that when the unit is
turned on, the entire list of available modes will
light briefly, and then revert to normal operation
with only the active mode indicator illuminated.
Ú
Speaker/Channel Input Indicators:
These
indicators are multipurpose, indicating either the
speaker type selected for each channel or the
incoming data-signal configuration. The left, center,
right, right surround and left surround speaker
indicators are composed of three boxes, while the
subwoofer is a single box. The center box lights
when a “Small” speaker is selected, and the two
outer boxes light when “Large” speakers are
selected. When none of the boxes are lit for the
center, surround or subwoofer channels, no speaker
has been selected for that position. (See page 33
for more information on configuring speakers.) The
letters inside each of the center boxes display
active input channels. For standard analog inputs,
only the L and R will light, indicating a stereo
input. When a digital source is playing, the indica-
tors will light to display the channels begin
received at the digital input. When the letters
flash, the digital input has been interrupted. (See
page 44 for more information on the Channel
Indicators).
