Sony XE370 User Manual

Making digital hookups

If you have a digital component such as a
digital amplifier, D/A converter, DAT, or MD,
connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT
(OPTICAL) connector using the optical cable
(not supplied). Take off the cap and plug in the
optical cable.

Note that you cannot use the following
functions when making this connection:

• Fading In or Out (CDP-XE570/XE370 only)

(see page 13)

• Adjusting the output level using the

ANALOG OUT LEVEL +/– buttons on the
remote (CDP-XE570/XE370 only)

Note

When you connect via the DIGITAL OUT
(OPTICAL) connector, noise may occur when you
play CD software other than music, such as a CD-
ROM.

Tip (CDP-XE570 only)

If you have a Sony component with the CONTROL
A1II jack, connect the component via the CONTROL
A1II jack. You can simplify the operation of audio
systems composed of separate Sony components. For
details, see “Using the CONTROL A1II control
system” on page 15.
