Connecting Your Equipment
Connecting Digital Components
The easiest way to connect this receiver for surround sound is to use a digital input. You can
do this by either coaxial or optical connections (you do not need to do both). The quality of
these two types of connections is the same but since some digital components have only one
type of digital terminal, it is a matter of matching like terminals (for example, the coaxial
output from the component to coaxial input on the receiver). This receiver has three digital
inputs (two coaxial and one optical). Connect your digital components as shown below.
Connect the digital output jack marked DIGITAL OUT to the optical input on a digital
recorder (currently these include MD, DAT and CD-R) to make direct digital recordings with
this unit.
When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power
cord is disconnected from the AC outlet. The arrows indicate the direction of the audio
signal.

Note:
If you have an LD player, you need to make special connections to ensure you can play
2 RF format LDs on your system. In this case, connect your DVD/LD or LD player to an RF
demodulator using both the 2 RF output and either a coaxial or optical digital connection,
then connect the RF demodulator to this receiver. We also recommend connecting digital
components to analog audio jacks. See the component's instruction manual if you are unsure
about its input and output jacks.
