Digital Coaxial (DIG COAX)
Use a Digital Coaxial cable to connect an audio source with a Digital Coaxial output to the
D5RH’s Source Input as shown in Figure 3.2. NOTE: Make sure to put the COAX/OPT switch in
the COAX (up) position. Digital Connections provide the best audio quality and should be used if
available. If both a Digital Coaxial connection and a Digital Optical connection are present on the
audio source, use only one. DO NOT connect both Coaxial and Optical outputs to the D5RH.

Digital Optical (OPTICAL)
Use a Digital Optical (TOSLINK) cable to connect an audio source with a Digital Optical output to the
D5RH’s Source Input as shown in Figure 3.3. NOTE: Make sure to put the COAX/OPT switch in
the OPT (down) position. Digital Connections provide the best audio quality and should be used if
available. If both a Digital Coaxial connection and a Digital Optical connection are present on the
audio source, use only one. DO NOT connect both coaxial and optical outputs to the D5RH.

NOTE: Multi-channel digital audio formats (5.1, 7.1 etc.) are not supported by the D5IP and D5RH. However, many audio/video sources allow you to
change the digital output to PCM Stereo. In most cases this will allow multi-channel audio sources to output a “summed” stereo signal through the digital
output. Consult the audio/video source manual for details.
NOTE: Some audio sources which utilize a digital output require that you enable the digital output before it will function. If there is no audio present,
check the setup menu of the audio source to confirm that the digital output is enabled.
