Getting started
To connect to an audio equipment with a digital input
You can enhance the sound quality by connecting the unit�s DIGITAL output (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to the digital input of an amplifier, DAT or MD by using an optional digital cable. The digital audio signal from a disc is directly transferred. If you connect the unit to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder by using an optional digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound. When you make the digital connection, also make the analog connection, because, depending on the disc type, no audio may be reproduced from the DIGITAL outputs. When using the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack, remove the protection cap. Do not lose the removed cap. When the jack is not used, fix the protection cap into the jack.
