analog and digital form. Check the manual for
your amplifier/receiver to see what equipment it
is compatible with (especially which digital

Connect to the coaxial or optical input of your
amplifier, if it has digital inputs.
Connecting analog audio cables
Be sure to fully insert each plug for the best
connection. The plugs and jacks are colour-
coded to make connection easier.
Connecting optical cables
Optical interconnects only
plug in one way, so make
sure the plug is correctly
lined up with the jack
before inserting. When
inserting the plug, the
protective shutter will
open and you should hear it click into position
when fully inserted. Be careful that you do not
force the plug, because this could result in
damage to the
protective shutter, the cable, or the unit
itself.

Connecting coaxial cables
Use an interconnect with a pin-type (also
called RCA or phono)
plug on each end to
connect up digital
coaxial-type jacks. Make
sure that the plug is
pushed fully home.
Note
If you listen to multichannel DVD-Audio
through one of the digital outputs, it will be
downmixed to stereo. Also, high sampling rate
DVD-Audio (192kHz or 176.4kHz) will be
downsampled to 96kHz, 88.2kHz, 48kHz or
44.1kHz, depending on the disc. Multi channel
and high sampling rate DVD-Audio is only
available through the analog outputs.
All DVD-Audio and all Super Audio CD audio
is output only through the analog outputs.
