CONNECTIONS
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.
■ 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.
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.
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.
PORTABLE jack
For analog audio signals transmitted via stereo analog 
audio mini cables.
■ Video jacks
This unit has three types of video jacks. Connection 
depends on the availability of input jacks on your video 
monitor. When “VIDEO CONV.” is set to “ON” (see 
page 85
), the video signals input at the VIDEO and S 
VIDEO jacks are converted and output at the VIDEO, S 
VIDEO and COMPONENT VIDEO jacks 
interchangeably.
VIDEO jacks
For conventional composite video signals transmitted via 
composite video cables.
S VIDEO jacks
For S-video signals, separated into the luminance (Y) and 
chrominance (C) video signals transmitted on separate 
wires of S-video cables.
COMPONENT VIDEO jacks
For component video signals, separated into the 
luminance (Y) and chrominance (P
B
, P
R
) video signals 
transmitted on separate wires of component video cables.
