CONNECTING TO DIGITAL (COAXIAL AND/OR OPTICAL) TERMINALS
If your DVD (LD) player, TV/DBS tuner, etc. are equipped with
coaxial or optical digital audio signal output terminals, they can
be connected to this unit’s COAXIAL and/or OPTICAL digital
signal input 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 or a DVD player, to send
signals encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS to this unit.
To make a connection between optical digital audio signal
terminals, remove the cover from each 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 COAXIAL (or
OPTICAL) terminal of this unit, you must keep the unit
connected with the same-named analog audio signal terminals
of this unit, because a digital signal cannot be recorded by a
tape deck, MD recorder or VCR connected to this unit. You can
easily switch the selection of input signals between “digital” and
“analog.” (See page 28 for details.)
Notes
• When connecting an audio/video unit to both the digital and
analog terminals of this unit, make sure to connect between
both terminals of the same name.
• Be sure to attach the covers when the OPTICAL terminals
are not being used in order to protect them from dust.
• The input signal from the DVD/LD input terminals is selected
in the following order of priority with the input mode set to the
AUTO position:
1 COAXIAL terminal
2 OPTICAL terminal
3 Analog terminal
• If the DIGITAL OUT data of the player has been processed in
any way, you may not be able to perform DTS playback even
if you make a digital connection between this unit and the
player.
• All digital audio signal input terminals are applicable to
sampling frequencies of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.
No sound will be generated when connecting your LD
player’s Dolby Digital RF signal output terminal directly to
this unit’s COAXIAL DVD/LD digital signal input terminal.
DVD or LD player*
* If your LD player has a Dolby Digital RF signal
output terminal, be sure to use the RF
demodulator (separately purchased).
