You can avoid deterioration of the signal during
transmission, since the music signal output through
the digital output connectors retains digital form.
You can connect a digital component such as a
digital amplifier, D/A converter, DAT or MD. When
you connect a DAT or MD, you can make digital
recordings from CDs.
Note that you cannot use the following functions
when making this connection:
