Analog audio output terminals
Use either the XLR or RCA (pin) FRONT terminals for analog
stereo output.
If your amplifier has balanced XLR analog audio inputs,
connect the XLR jacks on the unit to the amplifier’s XLR
jacks, otherwise use the RCA (pin) connections.
For surround (5.1) amplifiers with analog inputs, also use the
RCA (pin) SURROUND pair, CENTER and SUBWOOFER
connections (in addition to the FRONT pair).
< If you are connecting only 2 channels, use the 2CH/MULTI
button on the remote control to select “2 ch”. For surround
sound with six speakers connected, you can select either
“2ch” or “5.1 ch” mode. Note that if multi-channel
program material is played and 2-channel mode is selected,
the multi-channel material will be downmixed to two
channels, and output through the L and R front outputs.
Digital audio output terminals
The unit may be connected using either coaxial or optical
(TOS) commercially available cables to amplifiers including a
decoder, or to digital audio devices such as CD recorders,
etc.
COAXIAL: Use RCA (pin) digital audio cable
OPTICAL: Use optical digital audio cable (TOS)
< The optical terminal is covered by a shutter. Make sure that
the cable is firmly inserted, but do not force the cable when
connecting it or removing it, in order not to cause damage
to the unit.

Application notes
< To enjoy surround sound from a DVD Video disc, you may
use either an amplifier with a decoder, connected digitally,
or an amplifier with separate analog inputs for each
channel.
< The unit does not output digital surround sound from DVD
Audio or SACD discs, so to enjoy surround sound from
these media, you must make analog connections to a
suitably equipped surround sound amplifier.
< DVD Audio disc signals are converted where necessary from
192kHz or 176.4kHz to 96kHz/88.2kHz or 48kHz/44.1kHz.
However, there may be some occasions when digital audio
cannot be output by the unit from such a disc.
Word sync connector
This allows the use of an externally-generated word clock
connection, using a commercially available BNC coaxial
cable.
Devices producing such a suitable clock signal include
external D-A converters, or dedicated word clock
generators. Connect the SYNC OUT (or WORD OUT) of such
a device to the unit.
Digital output expansion slot
This slot is reserved for a future upgrade, which will allow
the output of SACD data in digital format.
RS-232C connection
This serial port is used in service and diagnostic operations,
as well as for upgrading the unit.
SIGNAL GND connection
Use a commercially available PVC-covered cord to connect
the signal ground terminal on the unit to the amplifier signal
ground.
< Note that this is NOT an electrical safety ground (earth).
Power cord receptacle
After all other connections have been made, insert the
supplied AC power cord into this receptacle, then connect
the other end of the power cord into the wall socket. Ensure
that your AC voltage corresponds to the voltage marked on
the rear panel of the unit. Consult a qualified electrician if
you are in doubt.
< In order to avoid the risk of electric shock, fire, and so on,
only use the supplied power cord.
< If you are not going to use the unit for some time,
disconnect the power cord from the wall socket.
