white plugs to the left AUDIO jacks. To use your satellite
receiver (or cable box), select the SAT function (see
“Controlling a Satellite Receiver or Cable Box” on

Disc) or DAT (Digital AudioTape) recorder to the receiver’s
DIGITAL OUT to record audio from the receiver. Use Toslink
optical cable to connect the MD or DAT recorder to the
receiver’s
DIGITAL OUT optical jack.
You can also connect a satellite receiver, portable CD player,
MD or DAT recorder, or other components with digital output
to the receiver’s
SAT IN optical jack. Use Toslink optical cable
to connect the desired device to the receiver.

portable CD player) to the Home Theater Audio System.

receiver’s AUX jacks.
