Using digital audio connections
The media center provides two types of digital audio input
connections (Figure 18):
• Coaxial digital (0) audio connection - requires a 750 coaxial
cable with RCA connectors.
• Optical digital audio connection - requires an optical digital
cable (included).
Making coaxial digital audio connections
Using a 750 coaxial cable with RCA connectors, connect the digital (0) audio output of each
source to its respective digital (0) audio input on the media center.
Note: To make digital recordings from
a
connected optical component, connect another optical
cable to the Optical OUTjacks on the media center rear panel.
Making optical digital audio connections
Only one audio source output can be connected to the media center using an optical cable.
Connect the optical output of your selected source to the Optical IN connector on the media
center. After turning on the system, you need to activate this connection in the system menu.
