GETTING STARTED
6. Decide which audio inputs to connect to each
source: Assign only one unique digital audio input to each digital
source. Assign analog audio inputs to analog sources, or as secondary
connections for digital sources for backup, for recording or to make
the source available to the multizone system.
• Any source using an HDMI Input requires no additional connection
for audio
unless:
◆
The source doesn’t output multichannel audio through its HDMI
output. Make a second connection to the 6-/8-Channel Analog
Audio Inputs.
◆
The source has an HDCP-compliant DVI output for video only.
Assign a digital or analog audio input.
• For any source whose best audio connection is optical or coaxial
digital audio, assign one of the four Optical or three Coaxial
Digital Audio Inputs. Do not connect both types of digital audio
to the same source device.
• You may assign one of the 2-Channel Analog Audio Inputs to
a digital source.
• You may also assign the 6-/8-Channel Analog Audio Inputs,
if available, to a digital source. See page 30.
• Assign one of the six 2-channel Analog Audio Inputs to an
analog source.
NOTE: If the source device is a digital audio recorder, it may
be used with any of the Coaxial or Optical Digital Audio Inputs
and the Coaxial Digital Audio Output. Both coaxial and optical
signals are available at the Coaxial Digital Audio Output. To
make analog recordings, assign either the Analog 2 or 4 Audio
Inputs to the recorder, as both have recording outputs.
