AC INLET
Connecting Auxiliary Components
This system has a complete set of stereo analog inputs and outputs, as well as an optical
digital output. Use these to connect an external component, such as an MD, CD-R or
DAT recorder. Connect the analog inputs and outputs using standard stereo cords; use
an optical digital cord when connecting up components using optical digital jacks.
(Note: connecting cords are not supplied, but should be available from any audio
retailer.)

Connecting all three sets of plugs allows for the greatest flexibility when recording. For
CDs you’ll be able to make digital copies over the optical digital link. For digital copy-
protected material (such as most CD-R and DVD discs), you’ll still be able to record
via the analog
REC OUT plugs.
After making sure that everything is connected properly, plug in the power cord to the
AC INLET, and the other end to a mains power outlet.
Congratulations! You’re done setting up.

Connecting an external AV amplifier
Another use for the optical digital output is to connect this system to an external AV
amplifier with built-in Dolby Digital, DTS and/or MPEG decoder. This will allow you to
enjoy true multi-channel surround sound with many DVD discs. Use a standard digital
optical cord (available from any good audio retailer) to connect the optical digital out
of this system to a suitable optical digital input on your AV amplifier—check the
manual supplied with the amplifier if you’re not sure which input to use.
Note: Although you can play any DVD disc that has a Dolby Digital or MPEG
soundtrack using just this unit, you will hear only a stereo downmix of the full
surround soundtrack. For full Dolby Digital/MPEG surround sound, connect this unit
to a Dolby Digital/MPEG compatible AV amplifier.
DVD discs with DTS soundtracks are only playable on this unit when connected to a
DTS compatible AV amplifier.
