Digital Audio for Better Sound Quality 
The connections illustrated above are 
optional for better sound.
1 For clear digital sound quality, use 
the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL) 
jack to connect your digital audio 
equipment.
If the audio format of the digital output does not 
match the capabilities of your receiver, the 
receiver will produce a strong, distorted sound or 
no sound at all.

decoder or MPEG decoder

surround system as well as DTS decoder, Multi-
channel surround system.
