Connecting digital audio sources

This receiver has both digital inputs and outputs,
allowing you to connect digital components for playback
and for making digital recordings. Many digital
components also have analog connections for recording
analog sources (such as a turntable or tape deck). See
Connecting analog audio sources below for more on this.
1 Connect a coaxial digital output on your digital
component to the DIGITAL 4 (CD) input on this
receiver.
• Use a coaxial digital audio cable for the connection.
• If your digital component only has an optical digital
output, you can connect it to one of the optical inputs
on this receiver using an optical cable. When you set
up the receiver you'll need to tell the receiver which
input you connected the player to (see Assigning the
digital inputs on page 77).
