When making analog hookups
When connecting an audio cord, be sure to match the
color-coded cord to the appropriate jacks on the
components: Red (right) to Red and White (left) to
White. Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid
hum and noise.

When making digital hookups
Digital hookups allow you to transmit the digital
source signal from the CD directly to another
component without any deterioration. You can
connect the digital outputs to other digital
components 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 fade in or fade out
function (page 16) when recording with this
connection.
• If you have a digital component with a coaxial digital
input connector
Connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT
(COAXIAL) connector using the coaxial cable (not
supplied).
After making connections, set the DIGITAL OUT
COAXIAL switch on the rear to ON. When not
using the coaxial output, set the switch to OFF.
• If you have a digital component with an optical digital
input connector
Connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL)
connector using the optical cable (not supplied). Take off
the cap and plug in the optical cable.
