3. Connections to stereo components
(Digital signal lines)
• To transmit digital signais between the DAT deck and an
amplifier with digital in/out terminals exclusively for DAT, use
the DIGITAL IN/OUT terminals on the rear panel of the deck.
For the transmission of digital signals, two types of cables
can be used; COAXIAL (for electrical signals) and OPTICAL
(for optical signals). Either of these can be used for digital
signal transmission.
With digital signals, only one cable is used for the transmission
of both the left and right channel signals.
DAT deck
• OPTICAL connection
Remove the caps from the OPTICAL terminals and connect
the DIGITAL OPTICAL IN/OUT terminals to the amplifier, etc.
using exclusive optical fiber cables.
Note:
Clean the tip of the plug of the optical cable before connecting
it.
• Synchro recording with CD player
When making a synchro recording with a CD player, as well
as connecting the optical fiber or coaxial cable, perform the
following connections.
1.
Connect the REMOTE CONT. terminals with the remote
cable. (See page?.)
2. Connect the OUTPUT terminal (analog) of the CD player and
the ANALOG IN terminal wi^i a RCA pin cord.
• Red light in the OPTICAL OUT terminal:
When the power is turned on, a red light appears inside the
terminal. This is used to transmit the digital signal. Although
it is not dangerous even when it strikes the eyes directly, do
not remove the cap covering the terminal when not in use.
Notes:
1.
When a digital program is encoded with a “copy prohibit”
code (except in case of SCMS), it cannot be copied
digitally. To copy such a program, perform analog
connection. (Refer to page 12.)
2
.
Never connect the digital coaxial cable to the analog input
terminals of an amplifier, etc. as this could seriously damage
the amplifier.
3.
When the OPTICAL terminals are used for digital connection,
check that the optional exclusive optical fiber cables can be
inserted into the terminals of the amplifier.
4.
Do not bend optical fiber cable sharply. For details, refer to
its instructions.
5.
When both the ANALOG and COAXIAL terminals of the DAT
deck are used for the connection of certain components
(amplifiers, tuners, cassette decks, etc.), noise (induced hum)
may occur. In this case, disconnect any unused IN/OUT
terminals.
