USING THE OPTICAL OUTPUT JACK
ON THE CD-63 REAR PANEL
This jack transmits digital signals using light through an optical-fibre cable.
Optical signal transmission provides extremely pure, high-level sound
reproduction since there is no signal loss through the cable and since the
ground loop is completely isolated, eliminating digital noise.
Connection method:
1. In addition to the CD-63, a digital amplifier (such as the PM-75 or PM-95,
which are available separately) is required.
2. Using an optical-fipre cable, connect the OPTICAL digital output jack of
the CD-63 to the OPTICAL IN jack of the digital amplifier (PM-75, PM-
95, etc.).
3. For details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the digital
amplifier.
