Connecting Digital Components
In order to use PCM/2 Digital/DTS soundtracks, you need to make digital audio connections. You can do this
by either coaxial or optical connections (you do not 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-D409/D509S has coaxial and two optical inputs for a total of three digital inputs. Connect your digital
components as shown below. There is one digital out jack which is marked PCM/
2/DTS (VSX-D509S only)
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.
