Getting started
To connect to digital audio device
You can enhance the sound quality by connecting either of the unit's DIGITAL OUT jacks to the digital input of an
amplifier, etc. by using an optical or a coaxal digital cable (optional). The digital audio signal from a disc is directly
transferred. If you connect the unit to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder by using an
optional digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.
For digital connection, connect the unit's DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to the digital input of digital audio device
using an optical or a coaxial digital cable.

Note that the DIGITAL OUT jacks on the unit has been designed and equipped exclusively for enjoying the digital
surround sound playback through the unit. It is not recommended to use the jacks for digital dubbing. When recording
the sounds (DVD VIDEO,SVCD, Video CD, or Audio CD) played back on the unit, record them through the analog jacks (in
this case, set "ANALOG DOWN MIX" in the "AUDIO" preferences to "STEREO" .See page 51).
NOTES
• When you make digital connection, we recommend also to make the analog connection, because, depending on discs, no
signal may be output from the DIGITAL OUT.
• When you connect the unit's DIGITAL OUT to a digital audio device, before using, set "DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT" in the
"AUDIO" preferences correctly according to the connected audio device. If "DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT" is not set correctly, loud
noise may be generated from speakers, causing damage to them. See "DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT" on page 50.
• When you connect the unit's DIGITAL OUT to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder (or amplifier with a built-in decoder) to enjoy
surround sound, the unit's "D. RANGE COMPRESSION" setting in the "AUDIO" preferences is invalid. Make appropriate
surround audio settings on the decoder.
To connect the power cord
When all the audio/video connections have been made, insert the smaller plug of the supplied AC power cord to the
unit's
AC IN connector, then insert the other end to the wall outlet. Make sure that plugs are inserted firmly. The
STANDBY indicator lights in red.
Warning
• Disconnect the power cord if you are not going to use the unit for a long time.
• Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the unit.
• Disconnect the power cord before moving the unit.
• Do not connect or disconnect the power cord with wet hands.
• Do not pull the power cord when disconnecting it, as this may damage the cord and cause fire, electric shock, or other
accidents.
Caution
• Do not alter, twist or pull the power cord, or put anything heavy on it, which may cause fire, electric shock, or other
accidents.
• To prevent any accidents or damage caused by an unsuitable AC power cord, only use the supplied power cord. If the
cord is damaged, contact a dealer and get another power cord.
