CONNECTIONS
PREPARATION
Select connectors that are compatible with your amplifier and appropriate for your requirements.
1
DIGITAL OUT jacks
• Connect the OPTICAL jack to the amplifier’s optical
digital input using fiber optic cable (not included)
-or-
• Connect the COAXIAL jack to the amplifier’s coaxial
digital input using coaxial digital cable (not included).
Note
• No audio signal is output from DIGITAL OUT during
SACD playback. Use connection
2
or
3
below.
2
MIXED 2CH jacks
Use the included audio/video pin cable to connect
these jacks to analog stereo input jacks on the ampli-
fier. Connect the white plug to the L jack. Connect the
red plug to the R jack. (The yellow plug is used for the
video signal.)
3
6CH DISCRETE jacks
Use an audio pin cable
(not included)
to connect these
jacks to the corresponding channel inputs (such as
MAIN L/R, CENTER) on the amplifier (often labelled
“6CH INPUT”).
Connect the SUBWOOFER jack to the subwoofer
input on the amplifier. This jack outputs a more natu-
ral, high-fidelity low range relative to the SUB OUT/
BASS MGMT jack explained below. However, during
playback of a two-channel (stereo) source, the sub-
woofer does not output any sound due to lack of LFE
(low-frequency effects assigned to a subwoofer).
★
SUB OUT/BASS MGMT jack
SUB OUT/BASS MGMT aggregates and outputs the
low ranges of all channels. An alternative to 6CH DIS-
CRETE SUBWOOFER output, this jack outputs a
powerful and supple sound even when the main speaker
is small (with a woofer diameter of 16cm or less).
Use an audio pin cable (not included) to connect the
SUB OUT/BASS MGMT jack to the subwoofer input
on the amplifier.
These jacks are used in custom installations to transmit
remote control signals via cable.
• Connect REMOTE CONTROL IN to an output on your
remote control system.
• Connect REMOTE CONTROL OUT to a remote con-
trol input on another component to enable system con-
trol.
