1
digital audio output on
your digital component to the OPTICAL IN 6 (CD-R/

About the WMA9 Pro decoder
This unit has an on-board Windows Media™ Audio 9
Professional 3 (WMA9 Pro) decoder, so it is possible to
playback WMA9 Pro-encoded audio using a coaxial or
optical digital connection when connected to a WMA9
Pro-compatible player. However, the connected PC, DVD
player, set-top box, etc. must be able to output WMA9 Pro
format audio signals through a coaxial or optical digital
output.

Note
1 • If your digital component only has a coaxial digital output, you can connect it to one of the coaxial inputs on this amplifier using a coaxial cable. When
you set up the amplifier you’ll need to tell the amplifier which input you connected the component to (see also
The Input Setup menu on page 94).
• The digital outputs from other components can be connected to any spare digital audio inputs on this amplifier. You can assign them when setting up
the amplifier (see also The Input Setup menu on page 94).
2 • You must switch ZONE 3 ON in Using the MULTI-ZONE controls on page 66 to hear audio from the DIGITAL OUT1.
• In order to record some digital sources, you must make analog connections as explained in Connecting analog audio sources on page 26.
3 • Windows Media and the Windows logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.
• With WMA9 Pro, sound problems may occur depending on your computer system. Note that WMA9 Pro 96 kHz sources will be downsampled to 48 kHz.
