Optical Digital 4 Input Jack:Connect the
optical digital audio output of an audio or video
product to this jack.
(
Optical Digital 4 Output Jack: Connect
this jack to the optical digital input of a digital
recorder to send a feed of the digitial output
when a PCM digital input source is in use by the
AVR.
Ó
Coaxial Digital 4 Input Jack: Connect the
output of a digital audio source to this jack.
Ô
Coaxial Digital 4 Output Jack: Connect
this jack to the coaxial digital input of a digital

when a PCM digital input source is in use by the
AVR.
Input/Output Status Indicators:This LED
indicator will normally light green to show that
the front panel Video 5 A/V
Ò
jacks are
operating as an input.When these jacks are con-
figured for use as an output, the indicator will
