Audio jacks
This unit has three types of audio jacks (analog audio,
digital audio coaxial, and digital audio optical).
Connection depends on the availability of audio jacks on
your other components.
AUDIO jacks
For conventional analog audio signals transmitted via left
and right analog audio cables. Connect red plugs to the
right jacks and white plugs to the left jacks.
DIGITAL AUDIO COAXIAL jacks
For digital audio signals transmitted via coaxial digital
audio cables.
DIGITAL AUDIO OPTICAL jacks
For digital audio signals transmitted via optical digital
audio cables.
• You can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital and
DTS bitstreams. When you connect components to both the
COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, priority is given to the signals
input at the COAXIAL jack. All digital input jacks are
compatible with 96-kHz sampling digital signals.
• This unit handles digital and analog signals independently. Thus
audio signals input at the analog jacks are output only at the
analog AUDIO OUT (REC) jacks.
• Pull out the cap from the optical jack before you connect the
fiber optic cable. Do not discard the cap. When you are not
using the optical jack, be sure to put the cap back in place. This
cap protects the jack from dust.
■
Video jacks
This unit has two types of video jacks (composite video,
and component video). Connection depends on the
availability of input jacks on your video monitor.
VIDEO jacks
For conventional composite video signals transmitted via
composite video cables.
COMPONENT VIDEO jacks
For component signals, separated into the luminance (Y)
and chrominance (P
B
, P
R
) video signals transmitted on
separate wires of component video cables.
