Connecting Your Equipment
Digital Connections
In order to use Dolby Digital/DTS soundtracks you need to make digital audio connections. You can do this by either
coaxial or optical connections (you don’t need to do both). The quality of these two types of connections is the same
but since some digital components only have one type of digital terminal, it is a matter of matching like with like (for
example, the coaxial out from the component to coaxial in on the receiver). The VSX-27TX/26TX/24TX has two coaxial
and two optical inputs for a total of four digital inputs. For the VSX-27TX, a DVD/LD player or LD player should be
connected to a digital jack and the special AC-3 RF jack (if the LD has one) as well as a pair of analog jacks (see the
previous page). Connect your digital components as shown below. There is one digital out jack which is marked PCM/
/DTS OUT. If you connect this to the optical input on a digital recorder (currently these include MD, DAT, and CD-R)
you can 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 wall outlet.
7 Digital audio cords/Optical cables
Commercially available digital audio coaxial cords
(standard video cords can also be used) or optical
cables (not supplied) are used to connect digital
components to this receiver.
When you use optical digital input or output terminals,
pull off the caps and insert the plugs. Be sure to insert
completely.
