03 Connecting up Connecting digital audio components The easiest way to hook up this receiver for surround sound (Dolby Digital and DTS sources) is to use a digital input. You can do this by either coaxial or optical connections (you do not 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 output from the component to coaxial input on the receiver). This receiver has four digital inputs (two coaxial inputs and two optical inputs) on the rear panel. Connect your digital components as shown below. There is one digital output jack which is marked DIGITAL OUT. If you connect this to the optical input on a digital recorder (for example an MD, DAT or CD-R) you can make direct digital recordings with this unit. When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected from the AC outlet. • The arrows indicate the direction of the signal.
