balanced output, set the switch back to OFF.
H When making digital hookups
You can avoid deterioration of the signal during
transmission, since the music signal output through
the digital output connectors retains digital form.
You can connect a digital component such as a
digital amplifier, D/A converter, DAT or MD. When
you connect a DAT or MD, you can make digital
recordings from CDs.
Note that you cannot use fading in or out function
(page 16) when making this connection.
If you have a digital component with an optical digital
input connector
Connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL)
connector using the optical cable (not supplied). Take off
the cap and plug in the optical cable.
