When connecting devices to the digital inputs and outputs, you may also consider

hooking up the analog connections to and from the components to insure that all signals

can be employed by the preamp/processor and through Zone 2.

When using the TOSLINK optical input or output jacks, remove the protective cap and

keep it in a safe place. When these jacks are not in use the protective cap should be

replaced.

When using a TOSLINK optical input or output jack, always use a high-quality optical

fiber cable.

IMPORTANT: We strongly recommend that before you connect any

loudspeakers to your amplifiers, you complete all needed connections and set

up procedures to your Cinema 12 as outlined below. This will reduce the

chance that a wrong connection or other error will produce a high volume

output that might damage your speakers or other components.
