Connecting Your Equipment

Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC
outlet.

Connecting Digital Components

In order to use PCM/2 Digital/DTS soundtracks, you need to make digital audio connections. You can do
this by either coaxial or optical connections (you do not 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 receiver). The
receiver has a coaxial and an optical input for a total of two digital inputs. Connect your digital components as
shown below. You need to tell the receiver which device you connected to the digital inputs. See page 17.
When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected
from the wall outlet.
