Connecting Your Equipment Connecting Digital Audio Components Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet. Connect your digital components as shown below. The VSX-55TXi has two coaxial and two optical inputs for a total of four digital inputs on the rear panel plus one digital input on the front panel. 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). Hook up your audio signal with either a coaxial or optical digital cords (you don't need to do both). If you hook up your DVD/LD player using component video cable connections you might need to setup your DVD player for component video output as well. See your DVD manual for details. If you have i.LINK compatible components, see page 28. 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 "Connecting Analog Audio Components" on page 20) in order to make recordings (some digital sources may be protected against making digital copies).

outlet.
Connect your digital components as shown below. The VSX-55TXi has two coaxial and two optical inputs for a
total of four digital inputs on the rear panel plus one digital input on the front panel. 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
