Connecting digital audio sources
This amplifier has both digital inputs and outputs,
allowing you to connect digital components for playback
and for making digital recordings. Many digital
components also have analog connections for recording
analog sources (such as a turntable or tape deck). See
Connecting analog audio sources below for more on this.
1
Connect an optical digital audio output on your
digital component to the DIGITAL 6 (CD-R/TAPE1/
MD) input on this amplifier.
• Use an optical cable for the connection.
• 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
Assigning the digital inputs on page 83).
• 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
Assigning the digital inputs on
page 83).
2
Connect one of the DIGITAL outputs on this
amplifier to a digital input on the component.
• Use an optical cable to connect to the
DIGITAL
OUT1 or OUT2 (OUT1 is shown in the illustration
below).
Note
• In order to record some digital sources, you must
make analog connections as explained in
Connecting
analog audio sources below.
• This unit has an on-board 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.
