CONNECTIONS
Connecting Audio Components
■ Connecting to digital jacks
This unit has digital jacks for direct transmission of
digital signals through either coaxial or fiber optic cables.
You can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital
and DTS bitstreams. When you connect components to
both the COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, priority is given
to the input signals from the COAXIAL jack. All digital
input jacks are acceptable for 96-kHz sampling digital
signals.
y
• You can designate the input for each digital jacks according to
your component by using “7 I/O ASSIGNMENT” on the SET
MENU (see pages 62 and 63 for details).
Note
• The OPTICAL jacks on this unit conform to the EIA standard.
If you use a fiber optic cable that does not conform to this
standard, this unit may not function properly.
■ Connecting a turntable
PHONO jacks are for connecting a turntable with an MM
or high-output MC cartridge. If you have a turntable with
a low-output MC cartridge, use an in-line boosting
transformer or MC-head amplifier when connecting to
these jacks.
y
• Connect your turntable to the GND terminal to reduce noise in
the signal. However you may hear less noise without the
connection to the GND terminal for some record players.
■ Connecting a CD player
y
• The COAXIAL CD and OPTICAL CD jacks are available for a
CD player which has coaxial or optical digital output jacks.
• When you connect a CD player to both the COAXIAL CD and
OPTICAL CD jacks, priority is given to the input signals from
the COAXIAL CD jack.
■ Connecting an MD recorder, tape
deck or CD recorder
y
• DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks and analog OUT (REC) are
independent. Only digital signals are output from DIGITAL
OUTPUT jacks and analog signals from OUT (REC) jacks.
• When you connect your recording component to both the
analog and digital input and output jacks, the priority is given
to the digital signal.
Notes
• When you connect a recording component to this unit, keep its
power on while using this unit. If the power is off, this unit may
distort the sound from other components.
• When you record from a source component connected to this
unit while this unit is set in the standby mode, the recorded
sound may be distorted. To avoid this problem, turn on this
unit.
