Connecting analog audio cables Be sure to fully insert each plug for the best connection. The plugs and jacks are colorcoded to make connection easier. Connecting coaxial cables Use an interconnect with a pin-type (also called RCA or phono) COAX plug on each end to connect up digital coaxial-type jacks. Make sure that the plug is pushed fully home. Note If you listen to multichannel DVD-Audio through one of the digital outputs, it will be downmixed to stereo. Also, high sampling rate DVD-Audio (192kHz or 176.4kHz) will be downsampled to 96kHz, 88.2kHz, 48kHz or 44.1kHz, depending on the disc (see page 38). Multi channel and high sampling rate DVD-Audio is only available through the analog outputs. All DVD-Audio and all Super Audio CD audio is output only through the analog outputs (see page 39). Connecting optical cables Optical interconnects OPT only plug in one way, so make sure the plug is correctly lined up with the jack before inserting.
