DIGITAL INPUT
Connect components
capable of outputing
Dolby Digital (e.g. DVD
or SAT) or standard
PCM (CD) format digital
signals. Read section
on "Input Signal Setting"
under "Advanced Sound
Control" carefully to
adjust the matching
input settings.
If your CD player is equipped with digital optical
jacks, use of optical cable is preferred. What you
need is just one more optical digital connecting
cable (not supplied). Plug it in the digital input jack
of the receiver and select OPTICAL on the receiver
setting (see details on pg 19 chapter "Input Signal
Setting"). You can enjoy better sound quality
brought to you by the optical cable. When optical
cable is used, analog cables are still needed for
recording to tape output.
DVD
DIGITAL CONNECTION
If you have a SAT receiver DVD player or CD player with a digital output, you can make use
of an optical digital cable (not supplied) or coaxial digital cable (not supplied) to carry the
audio portion of the signal and enjoy Dolby Digital sound quality. One optical or coaxial cable
is needed for each SAT receiver, DVD player or CD player. When optical or coaxial cable is
used, the analog audio cables are still needed if recording through a tape or VCR is desired.
This receiver provides one optical and one coaxial digital input for the connection of your
components. Please connect your components (e.g. DVD, SAT or CD) to the appropriate
digital inputs and press DIGITAL INPUT to select the corresponding digital input source.
Note: Optical and coax cables carry only the audio portion of the signal. A video connection
must also be established for a SAT receiver and DVD player. S-video provides the best
connection for the video portion of the signal. Composite video (yellow RCA connector) can
also be used. It is important that the same type of cable (S-video or composite) that is
connected from the Home Theatre to the TV is used to connect the SAT receiver or DVD
player to the Home Theatre.
S-VIDEO
If your video component has a S-Video
jack included, you can make use of it to
enjoy enhanced video quality by
connecting it to the relevant S-Video jack
at the rear side of the receiver. One
S-video cable is needed for each
component. When S-Video cable is used,
composite video (yellow RCA connector)
cable must also be connected for VCR
recording.
Note: Before plugging in the optical cable
or S-Video cable, make sure to match the
shape of the plug and jack, otherwise, you
will not be able to plug in completely.
