You will need to acquire
and have on hand
whatever equipment or
cables (other than what
came with the U-8) that
you need. When doing this,
take care to ensure that the
configuration of the cable
connectors is compatible.
To prevent malfunction
and/or damage to speakers
or other devices, always
turn down the volume, and
turn off the power on all
devices before making any
connections.
When making a digital
connection between the U-8
and a stereo set, connect
the Digital Output
connector on the U-8 to the
Digital Input connector on
the stereo set. For more
information, refer to
"Making a Digital
Connection" in "U-8 and
External Equipment" in
the U-8 Technical Guide.
