Connecting to digital (OPTICAL and COAXIAL) terminals
If your CD player, MD recorder, LD player, DVD player,
TV/satellite 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.
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 OPTICAL (or
COAXIAL) terminal of this unit, you must keep the unit
connected with the same named analog audio signal terminals
of this unit, because digital signal cannot be recorded by a tape
deck or VCR connected to only analog audio signal terminals
of this unit. You can switch the selection of input signals
between “digital” and “analog” easily. (See page 41 for details.)
* However, if you connect an MD recorder or DAT to this
unit’s OPTICAL MD/TAPE 1 PLAY and REC terminals, it
can record input sources connected to this unit’s OPTICAL
digital signal input terminals.
Notes
●
When you connect an audio/video unit to both of the digital
and analog terminals of this unit, make sure to connect to
both terminals of the same name.
●
Be sure to attach the covers when the OPTICAL terminals
are not being used, in order to protect the terminals from
dust.
●
All digital audio signal input terminals are applicable to the
sampling frequency of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.
●
In order to make this unit perform a successful DTS-
decoding, the DTS bitstream must not be altered,
manipulated or corrupted in the process that it is sent from
the DIGITAL OUT terminal of a unit playing back a source
encoded with the DTS to a digital signal input terminal of
this unit.
