When you connect a device to the TV (OPT) jacks (optical digital audio input/output jacks)

Notes on connecting a device to the TV (OPT) jacks (optical digital audio input/output jacks)

  • The optical digital cable is an extremely high-precision device and is sensitive to jolts and external pressure. Therefore, be careful when inserting and removing the cable plug.

  • You may need to make optical digital output settings on the device connected to the TV (OPT) jacks of the processor. Refer to the manual supplied with the device.

  • The TV (OPT) OUT (THROUGH) jack outputs signals only when the AC adaptor is connected to the processor.

  • The TV (OPT) IN jack (optical digital input jack) of the processor is to be connected with a TV only. Connecting the jack to an optical digital output on your computer is not guaranteed to work with this system.

Notes on connecting a device with an optical mini digital output jack

  • When you connect an optical mini digital plug of a portable device, etc., with the TV (OPT) IN jack, use a POC-5AB cable (optical mini plug optical rectangular plug) (sold separately).

  • Remove the protective cap at the ends of the cable, if any.

Notes on handling the optical digital cable

  • Do not drop objects on the optical digital cable or expose the cable to shock.

  • Grasp the plug to connect or disconnect the cable.

  • Be sure that the ends of the optical digital cable are kept clean. Dust at the ends of the cable can degrade performance.

  • When storing the cable, attach the cap to the end of the plug and be careful not to fold or bend the optical digital cable with a bend radius less than 25 mm (1 inch).

The bend radius of the optical digital cable should be no less than 25 mm (1 inch).
