Setting up the digital surround processor

You specify whether you are using the digital or analogue output
for each channel in the Speaker Set configuration option; see
Setting up the speaker outputs, page 28. Note that you should
always leave the unused analogue or digital output for each
channel unconnected.
The analogue connections should be made using high-quality
screened cable, taking care to connect the left and right
channels correctly.
The digital connections should be made with high-quality 75
Ω
screened cable. Suitable cables are available from Meridian. We
do not recommend using analogue audio cables, which do not
have adequate shielding or the correct impedance, or cables
intended for UHF applications, as these do not provide
adequate shielding in the 1–30MHz region.
Optical connections should be made using a suitable optical
fibre supplied by your dealer.
