About the WMA9 Pro decoder
This unit has an on-board Windows Media™ Audio 9
Professional
3
(WMA9 Pro) decoder, so it is possible to
playback WMA9 Pro-encoded audio using a coaxial or
optical digital connection when connected to a WMA9 Pro-
compatible player. However, the connected PC, DVD player,
set-top box, etc. must be able to output WMA9 Pro format
audio signals through a coaxial or optical digital output.

on page 66).
• The digital outputs from other components can be connected to any spare digital audio inputs on this receiver. You can assign them when setting up
the receiver (see also
The Input Setup menu
on page 66).

ZONE 3 ON
in
Using the MULTI-ZONE controls
on page 60 to hear audio from the
