OPTIONAL CONNECTIONS AND ADDITIONS
Using digital audio connections
The media center provides two types of digital audio input
connections (Figure 18):
• Coaxial digital (D) audio connection – requires a 75Ω coaxial
cable with RCA connectors.
• Optical digital audio connection – requires an optical digital
cable (included).
If you need cables, you can find these in consumer electronics retail stores.

Digital audio connections
Note: When using a digital audio connection, be sure to maintain your analog connection, too.
In this way, you ensure continuous sound when a digital signal is absent or interrupted. It also
supports the use of a Bose
®
link connection for expansion into other rooms.
Making coaxial digital audio connections
Using a 75Ω coaxial cable with RCA connectors, connect the digital (D) audio output of each
source to its respective digital (D) audio input on the media center.
Note: To make digital recordings from a connected optical component, connect another optical
cable to the Optical OUT jacks on the media center rear panel.
Making optical digital audio connections
Only one audio source output can be connected to the media center using an optical cable.
Connect the optical output of your selected source to the Optical IN connector on the media
center. After turning on the system, you need to activate this connection in the system menu.
