Audio Output Connections Connecting the Digital Outputs You can add digital I/O capacity to the A5000/A4000 by installing the optional I/O expansion board (AIEB1 board). The board enables direct digital output of A5000/A4000 playback and digital through-put. For purposes of compatibility, the AIEB1 board includes two different output types: OPTICAL OUT (optical fiber) and DIGITAL OUT (coaxial cable). Note that both of these outputs always produce identical signals. The digital outputs function as assignable outputs. You can set them to output selected samples or programs, or you can set them to produce the same output as the STEREO OUT jacks (by setting the Stereo Out to Assignable Out parameter to DIG&OPT (UTILITY-MASTER-Out put) : page 195). • The OPTICAL connectors are protected by plastic covers. You must remove the cover before connecting the cable. Please remember to replace the cover when you disconnect the cable.
