■ Audio jacks
This unit has four types of audio jacks. Connection 
depends on the availability of audio jacks on your other 
components.

AUDIO jacks
For conventional analog audio signals transmitted via left 
and right analog audio cables. Connect red plugs to the 
right jacks and white plugs to the left jacks.

PORTABLE jack
For analog audio signals transmitted via stereo analog 
audio mini cables.

DIGITAL AUDIO COAXIAL jacks
For digital audio signals transmitted via coaxial digital 
audio cables.

DIGITAL AUDIO OPTICAL jacks
For digital audio signals transmitted via optical digital 
audio cables.

• You can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital and 

DTS bitstreams. When you connect components to both the 
COAXIAL and OPTICAL jacks, priority is given to the signals 
input at the COAXIAL jack. All digital input jacks are 
compatible with 96-kHz sampling digital signals.

• Pull out the cap from the optical jack before you connect the 

fiber optic cable. Do not discard the cap. When you are not 
using the optical jack, be sure to put the cap back in place. This 
cap protects the jack from dust.
