audio sources.
G DIGITAL AUDIO INPUTS (5-8)—Digital coax and toslink (S/PDIF)
connectors for up to 4 digital audio sources. Inputs 5-8 can be either
digital or analog, but not both. Digital inputs do not support multi-
channel audio. Digital sources must be stereo PCM.
H ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUTS (1-8)—RCA jacks for line level output. Every
output can play audio from any input.
