Signal directions and cable indications
■
Analog jacks
You can input analog signals from audio components by
connecting an audio pin cable to each of this unit’s analog
jacks. Connect red plugs to the right jacks and white plugs
to the left jacks.
■
Digital jacks
This unit has digital jacks for direct transmission of digital
signals through either coaxial or fiber optic 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 input signals from the COAXIAL jack. COAXIAL
jacks are compatible with digital signals with sampling
frequencies up to 192 kHz, and OPTICAL jacks with
sampling frequencies up to 96 kHz.
This unit handles digital and analog signals independently. Thus,
audio signals input to the analog jacks are only output to the
analog OUT (REC) jacks. Likewise audio signals input to the
digital (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jacks are only output to the
DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks.
■
i.LINK jacks
This unit can be connected with i.LINK equipped
components using 4-pin, S400 i.LINK cables. This
connection enables you to send and receive digital audio at
high speed and with high fidelity.
■
Video jacks
This unit has three types of video jacks. The signals input
through any type of VIDEO IN jack can be output through
any of the VIDEO (MONITOR OUT) jacks (automatic
video conversion).
VIDEO jack
For conventional composite video signals.
S VIDEO jack
For S video signals, separated into luminance (Y) and
color (C) video signals to achieve high-quality color
reproduction.
COMPONENT VIDEO jacks
For component signals, separated into luminance (Y)
and color difference (P
B
, P
R
) to provide the best quality
in picture reproduction.
• When signals are input simultaneously through the
COMPONENT VIDEO, S VIDEO and VIDEO jacks, the input
priority is as follows: COMPONENT VIDEO, S VIDEO then
VIDEO.
• Video signal conversion is only possible for signals input
through the COMPONENT VIDEO jack when Resolution is set
to 480i/576i. Signals will not be converted when Resolution is
set to 480p/576p, 720p or 1080i (see page 79).
