Connecting Digital Audio Sources; About The Wma9 Pro Decoder - Pioneer VSX-LX60 Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting your equipment
• Since they are assignable, it doesn't matter which
component video inputs you use for which source.
After connecting everything, you'll need to assign the
component video inputs—see The Input Setup menu
on page 66.
2 Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to the
component video inputs on your TV or monitor.
Use a three-way component video cable.

Connecting digital audio sources

This receiver has both digital inputs and outputs,
allowing you to connect digital audio components for
playback and for making digital recordings.
Most digital components also have analog connections.
See Connecting analog audio sources on the following
page if you want to connect these too.

1 • If your digital component only has a coaxial digital output, you can connect it to one of the coaxial inputs on this receiver using a coaxial cable. When
you set up the receiver you'll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the component to (see also The Input Setup menu on page 66).
• The digital outputs from other components can be connected to any spare digital audio inputs on this receiver. You can assign them when setting up
the receiver (see also The Input Setup menu on page 66).
2 • You must switch ZONE 3 ON in Using the MULTI-ZONE controls on page 60 to hear audio from the DIGITAL OUT1.
• In order to record some digital sources, you must make analog connections as explained in Connecting analog audio sources below.

About the WMA9 Pro decoder

This unit has an on-board Windows Media™ Audio 9
3
Professional (WMA9 Pro) decoder, so it is possible to
playback WMA9 Pro-encoded audio using a coaxial or
optical digital connection when connected to a WMA9 Pro-
compatible player. However, the connected PC, DVD player,
set-top box, etc. must be able to output WMA9 Pro format
audio signals through a coaxial or optical digital output.
