Digital component connections
oo ia
Before connecting
@ Turn off all the components.
@ The digital audio signal is a composite signal made up
of the left and right channel signals. For this reason,
separate left and right INPUT and OUTPUT terminals
are not necessary.
@ Always replace the terminal cap of the DIGITAL. 1
(OPTICAL) terminal when not in use.
@ When connecting components to the DIGITAL. 2 to 4
DIGITAL IN and OUT jacks, use video connection cords
or digital connection cords available in Hi-Fi stores.
@ If your video disc player is equipped with an optical
output terminal you can connect it to the DIGITAL. 1
(OPTICAL) terminal of the amplifier.

terminal
This terminal is for digital source playback. Connect a CD
player, DAT deck or video disc player which has an optical
output terminal.
Notes
@ When you are not using the DIGITAL. 1 (OPTICAL)
input terminal do not remove its terminal cap. The termi-
nal cap protects the D/A converter inside the amplifier
from dust and outside light. Do not loose this terminal
cap.
@ When connecting the optical fiber cable, make sure it is
firmly inserted into the terminal.
