IMPORTANT NOTES ON DIGITAL CONNECTIONS
Coaxial Connections
• Use a commercially available digital cable (or 75-ohm video cable).
• Do not use audio cords that are not appropriate for digital signal use.
Optical Connections
• Use a commercially available optical fibre cable.
• To ensure proper connection of optical cable, fully insert it into the jack until there is an audible click.
• Remember to save the plastic dust caps that cover the optical jacks, and replace them when a jack is
not in use to prevent dust from entering the connection point.
