The HDD AUDIO PLAYER has an internal amplifier, but you can connect an external amplifier
as well.
Note
Make sure that the AC power cord (mains lead) of the HDD AUDIO PLAYER is unplugged
when connecting any other cord.
Connect an amplifier to the D/A DIRECT・LINE OUT jacks on the rear panel of the HDD
AUDIO PLAYER using an audio cord (not supplied) as shown in the illustration below.

: Audio cord (not supplied)
: Analog input jack of an amplifier
Note
The HDD AUDIO PLAYER is equipped with a built-in antenna for wireless LAN. Make sure to
keep a distance between the HDD AUDIO PLAYER and speakers or other devices to
maintain good wireless communication.
Hint
The D/A DIRECT・LINE OUT jacks directly output analog signals through the D/A converter
without using any internal connectors or signal switchers. This eliminates as many elements
that reduce the sound quality as possible.
You can use the HDD AUDIO PLAYER as a D/A converter by connecting it to an external
amplifier.
You can connect a digital audio device to the OPTICAL IN or COAXIAL IN jack of the HDD
AUDIO PLAYER and output the signal from these jacks through the D/A DIRECT・LINE
OUT jacks. (The D/A DIRECT・LINE OUT jacks do not output analog signals input through
the LINE IN jacks.)
