GETTING STARTED 6. Decide which audio inputs to connect to each source: Assign only one unique digital audio input to each digital source. Assign analog audio inputs to analog sources, or as secondary connections for digital sources for backup, for recording or to make the source available to the multizone system. • Any source using an HDMI Input requires no additional connection for audio unless: N The source doesn't output multichannel audio through its HDMI output. Make a second connection to the 6-/8-Channel Analog Audio Inputs. N The source has an HDCP-compliant DVI output for video only. Assign a digital or analog audio input. • For any source whose best audio connection is optical or coaxial digital audio, assign one of the three Optical or three Coaxial Digital Audio Inputs. Do not connect both types of digital audio to the same source device. • You may assign one of the 2-Channel Analog Audio Inputs to a digital source. • You may also assign the 6-/8-Channel Analog Audio Inputs, if available, to a digital source. See page 27. • Assign one of the six 2-channel Analog Audio Inputs to an analog source. NOTE: If the source device is a digital audio recorder, it may be used with any of the Coaxial or Optical Digital Audio Inputs and the Coaxial Digital Audio Output. Both coaxial and optical signals are available at the Coaxial Digital Audio Output. To make analog recordings, assign either the Analog 2 or 4 Audio Inputs to the recorder, as both have recording outputs. 21
