About the WMA9 Pro decoder
This unit has an on-board Windows Media
®
Audio 9
Professional
3
(WMA9 Pro) decoder, so it is possible to
playback WMA9 Pro-encoded audio using a coaxial or
optical digital connection when connected to a WMA9
Pro-compatible player. However, the connected PC, DVD
player, set-top box, etc. must be able to output WMA9 Pro
format audio signals through a coaxial or optical digital
output.

Note
1• If your digital component only has a coaxial digital output, you can connect it to one of the coaxial inputs on this receiver using a coaxial cable. When
you set up the receiver you’ll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the component to (see also The Input Setup menu on page 60).
• The digital outputs from other components can be connected to any spare digital audio inputs on this receiver. You can assign them when setting up
the receiver (see also The Input Setup menu on page 60).
2• You must switch ROOM 3 ON in Using the multi-room controls on page 56 to hear audio from the DIGITAL OUT1.
• In order to record some digital sources, you must make analog connections as explained in Connecting analog audio sources below.
3 • Microsoft, Windows Media

• With WMA9 Pro, sound problems may occur depending on your computer system. Note that WMA9 Pro 96kHz sources will be downsampled to 48kHz.
