Connecting a digital device

Connect this unit to a device with digital output connectors, such as a TV.

Conne Digital RCDN12DAB

When connecting a TV to this unit, turn off the audio output of the TV’s internal speakers. See the owner’s manual of your TV for details.

When connecting the HDMI ARC terminal of this unit to your TV, connect it to the HDMI input terminal of your TV that supports the ARC function.

When connecting to a TV that does not support the ARC function, use an Optical connection to play the TV audio.

NOTE

Only the PCM 2-channel setting can be used to play sound from a TV via the HDMI ARC function and Optical connection. Set “PCM 2ch” as the audio format in the TV settings.

Linear PCM signals with a sampling frequency of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz, or 192 kHz can be input into this unit.

Do not input non-PCM signals, such as Dolby Digital, DTS and AAC. This causes noise and could damage the speakers.

Specifications of supported audio formats

See Digital inputlink.
