Digital Connections - Pioneer VSA-E07 Operating Instruction

Connecting Your Equipment

Digital Connections

In order to use MPEG/Dolby Digital/DTS soundtracks you need to make digital audio connections. You can do
this by either coaxial or optical connections (you don't need to do both). The quality of these two types of
connections is the same but since some digital components only have one type of digital terminal, it is a matter
of matching like with like (for example, the coaxial out from the component to coaxial in on the amplifier). The
VSA-E07 has two coaxial and two optical inputs for a total of four digital inputs. You can assign the jacks to the
proper component(s). Refer to "DIGITAL INPUT SELECT" on page 36. A DVD/LD player or LD player should be
connected to a digital jack and the special
(see the previous page).
Connect your digital components as shown below. There is one digital out jack which is marked PCM/
MPEG OUT. If you connect this to the optical input on a digital recorder (currently these include MD, DAT and
CD-R) you can make direct digital recordings with this unit.

Commercially available digital audio coaxial cords
(standard video cords can also be used) or
optical cables (not supplied) are used to connect
digital components to this amplifier.
When you use optical digital input or output
terminals, pull off the caps and insert the plugs.
Be sure to insert completely.
