Digital Connections - Pioneer Elite VSX-29TX Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting Your Equipment

Digital Connections

In order to use Dolby Digital/DTS soundtracks you need to make digital audio connections. You can do this by either
coaxial or optical connections (you don't need to do both). The quality of these two types of connections is the same
but since some digital components only have one type of digital terminal, it is a matter of matching like with like (for
example, the coaxial out from the component to coaxial in on the receiver). The VSX-29TX has two coaxial and two
optical inputs for a total of four digital inputs. For the VSX-29TX, DVD/LD player or LD player should be connected to a
digital jack and the special AC-3 RF jack (if the LD has one) as well as a pair of analog jacks (see the previous page).
Connect your digital components as shown below. There is one digital out jack which is marked PCM/
you connect this to the optical input on a digital recorder (currently these include MD, DAT and CD-R) you can make
direct digital recordings with this unit.
When connecting your equipment always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from
the wall outlet.
