English7RQT6091ConnectionsDigital Optical and Coaxial Cable ConnectionsOptical Cable Input/Output Terminals• Connect a receiver or amplifier with digital audio capability viathe optical Input/Output cables. A single cable transmits stereosignals (L/R channels) as digital data.• If analog audio connections are also being made, try using thedigital connectors on the receiver/amplifier that are labeled thesame way as the analog terminals.• Make sure the optical cable (not supplied) can be connected tothe amplifier, etc. before purchasing it.• Do not bend the optical cable at a sharp angle.• The filament in the cable shines red when activated. This beamsends the digital signal. It is not harmful to the eyes, but pleasekeep the protective cap on the terminal when not in use.Notes• Connect an external digital recording device to the digital out-put terminal on an amplifier or receiver, and then connect theamplifier or receiver to this unit.• The sound from an external device cannot be digitally outputfrom this unit.
