Analog audio output terminals
Use either the XLR or RCA (pin) terminals for 2-channel
analog stereo output.
Use commercially available XLR or RCA audio cables:
XLR: Use a balanced XLR digital cable
RCA: Use an RCA audio cable
Connect the R terminal on this unit to the right (R) terminal
of the amplifier and the L terminal on this unit to the left (L)
terminal of the amplifier.
< i.LINK audio connector is available in the future as a
chargeable option. If you have added this connector then
only the sound of the front L/R over 5.1 channels is output
from an analog audio output terminal if you set the analog
output mode to “Multi ch”. If you only use the analog audio
output terminals, normally set the multi-channel mode to
“2ch”.
Digital audio output terminals
Digital audio from CD is output from these terminals.
The unit may be connected using either coaxial or optical
(TOS) cables to amplifiers or digital audio devices such as CD
recorders, etc.
Use commercially available COAXIAL or OPTICAL cables:
COAXIAL: Use RCA (pin) digital audio cable
OPTICAL: Use optical digital audio cable (TOS)
< The DIGITAL OUT terminals cannot output the digital audio
from Super Audio CDs. Note: For 2 channel SACD audio
output use the analog audio outputs (RCA or XLR
connection outputs).
< 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.

A RESERVED (slot for i.LINK) terminals
The i.LINK (AUDIO) terminals will become available after a
future hardware upgrade (chargeable and optional
upgrade).
i.LINK (AUDIO): 6pin x 1
i.LINK (AUDIO): 4pin x 1
In addition to digital audio from CD, the digital surround
audio channels from Super Audio CDs can be output from
the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminals.
If you have had this optional upgrade installed, use a
commercially available S400 compatible i.LINK (IEEE1394)
cable (6 pin or 4 pin). To enjoy surround sound from a Super
Audio CD, connect the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal to a suitably
equipped amplifier such as AZ-1, AI-10 (upgraded, charged),
or D/A converter such as D-01 etc.
For multi-channel audio output, press the 2CH/MULTI
button on the remote control to select “Multi ch”. (page 17)
