These inputs conform to the Sony/Philips Digital Interface Standard (
S
/
PDIF
),
which calls for a 75
Ω
transmission of the DAS. Use a digital interconnecting
cable specifically designed for the 75
Ω
S
/
PDIF
standard, such as Madrigal
MDC-2 cable, when using these inputs.

ST OPTICAL DIGITAL INPUT (6)
This input accepts the
digital audio signal
(
DAS
), via cables equipped with
the ST-type optical connector, sometimes called “AT&T” or “glass,” from digi-
tal sources such as a compact disc transport, laser disc transport, digital au-
dio tape transport, digital broadcast receiver.
10
EIAJ OPTICAL DIGITAL INPUTS (7 – 8)
These inputs accept
digital audio signal
(
DAS
), via cables equipped with
the EIAJ optical connector, sometimes called “Toslink™”, from digital sources
such as a compact disc transport, laser disc transport, digital audio tape
transport, digital broadcast receiver.

ELECTRICAL DIGITAL OUTPUTS
These outputs provide
digital audio signal
(
DAS
), via cables equipped with
XLR-type connectors, to a digital processor, digital audio tape recorder, pre-
amplifier, integrated amplifier, or receiver equipped with XLR-type digital
inputs.

The
monitor digital output
is controlled by the source selection buttons on
the front panel, and tracks whatever source is being listened to from the
Nº30.6. It can be used as a “pass-through” for the selected, monitored digital
source, and employs the
aes/ebu
transmission standard.
The
rec digital output
is controlled by the
digital record select
button (in
conjunction with the source selection buttons), and is unaffected by the
normal selection of sources to be monitored. It also employs the
aes/ebu
transmission standard.

OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT
This output provides a digital audio signal (DAS), via a cable equipped
with EIAJ-type optical connectors, to a digital processor, digital audio tape
recorder, preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or receiver equipped with optical
digital inputs.
This
rec digital output
is controlled by the
digital record select
button,
and is unaffected by the
monitor
source selection buttons.
