Pioneer VSX-AX3-K User Manual

En

Unlike analog connections, the jacks for digital connections are not dedicated to one type of component, they 
can be used freely. Thus you must tell the receiver what digital component is connected to which jack so your 
components will be in sync with the names on the remote control buttons and the like. To avoid having to 
assign the digital inputs you can hook up your equipment in accordance with the receiver’s default settings.

The default settings are:

DIGITAL IN 1 (optical): TV/SAT
DIGITAL IN 2 (optical): CD-R/TAPE1
DIGITAL IN 3 (coaxial): DVD/LD
DIGITAL IN 4 (coaxial): CD

See “Assigning the Digital Inputs” on page 81 if the way you hook up your equipment is different from the 
default settings listed here.

 Coaxial cords/Optical cables

Commercially available digital audio coaxial 
cords (standard video cords can also be used) or 
optical cables (not supplied) are used to connect 
digital components to this receiver.

Be sure to insert completely and in the case of 
the optical cable, right-side up. If it is inserted 
improperly it can break the shutter on the optical 
terminal (this won’t, however, affect the 
connection or insertion of an optical cable).
