Connecting Your Equipment Connecting Digital Audio Components Connect your digital components as shown below. The VSX-47TX has two coaxial, three optical and one 2 RF inputs for a total of six digital inputs. In order to use digital soundtracks like Dolby Digital or DTS (among others) you need to make digital audio connections. You can do this by either a coaxial or an optical connection (you don't need to do both). The quality of these two types of connections is the same but since some digital components only have one type of digital terminal, it is a matter of matching like with like (for example, the coaxial out from the component to coaxial in on the receiver). A DVD/LD player or LD player should also be connected to the special 2 RF jack (if the LD has one). Hook up your digital equipment in accordance with this receiver's default settings (see next page) unless you want to, or need to, change them. To do this see "Assigning the Digital Inputs" on p.88 . There are two optical digital out jacks (the CD recorder is connected to one in the diagram below). If you connect this to the optical input on a digital recorder (currently these include MD, DAT and CD-R) you can make direct digital recordings with this unit. We also recommend hooking up your digital components to analog audio jacks (see p.20) in order to make recordings (some digital sources may be protected against making digital copies). Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet. *The arrows indicate the direction of the audio signal.

Connect your digital components as shown below. The VSX-47TX has two coaxial, three optical and one
2
RF inputs for a total of six digital inputs. In order to use digital soundtracks like Dolby Digital or DTS
(among others) you need to make digital audio connections. You can do this by either a coaxial or an
optical connection (you don’t need to do both). The quality of these two types of connections is the same
but since some digital components only have one type of digital terminal, it is a matter of matching like
with like (for example, the coaxial out from the component to coaxial in on the receiver). A DVD/LD player
or LD player should also be connected to the special
2
RF jack (if the LD has one).
Hook up your digital equipment in accordance with this receiver's default settings (see next page) unless
you want to, or need to, change them. To do this see "Assigning the Digital Inputs" on p.88 .
There are two optical digital out jacks (the CD recorder is connected to one in the diagram below). If you
