Connecting Digital Components
In order to use PCM/ID Digital/DTS soundtracks, you need to make digital audio connections
You can do this by either coaxial or optical connections (you do not need to do both) The quality of these two types
of connections is the same but since some digital components only have one type of digital terminal, it is a matter of
matching like with like (for example, the coaxial out from the component to coaxial in on the receiver) The VSX-
D710S has a coaxial input and two optical inputs for a total of three digital inputs The VSX-D810S has a coaxial
input and three optical inputs for a total of four digital inputs and the VSX-D850S has a coaxial input and four
optical inputs for a total of five digital inputs Connect your digital components as shown below There is one digital
out jack which is marked
DIGITAL OUT If you connect this to the optical input on a digital recorder (currently these
include MD, DAT and CD-R) you can make direct digital recordings with this unit
When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected
from the wall outlet
