The CD player provides three alternative signal outputs to allow
you to choose the highest-quality method of connection
available on the system to which you are connecting.
The 506 24-Bit CD Player produces an extremely low-noise low-
jitter electrical digital output, and this is the recommended
method of connection to digital equipment.
The following table lists the equipment which uses each of the
three output types:
