Connecting an amplifier
The HDD AUDIO PLAYER has an internal amplifier, but you can connect an external
amplifier as well.
Note
Make sure that the AC power cord (mains lead) of the HDD AUDIO PLAYER is
unplugged when connecting any other cord.
Connect an amplifier to the D/A DIRECTLINE OUT jacks on the rear panel of the HDD
AUDIO PLAYER using an audio cord (not supplied) as shown in the illustration below.

: Audio cord (not supplied)
: Analog input jack of an amplifier
Note
The HDD AUDIO PLAYER is equipped with a built-in antenna for wireless LAN. Make
sure to keep a distance between the HDD AUDIO PLAYER and speakers or other
devices to maintain good wireless communication.
Hint
The D/A DIRECTLINE OUT jacks directly output analog signals through the D/A
converter without using any internal connectors or signal switchers. This eliminates as
many elements that reduce the sound quality as possible.
You can use the HDD AUDIO PLAYER as a D/A converter by connecting it to an external
amplifier.
You can connect a digital audio device to the OPTICAL IN or COAXIAL IN jack of the
HDD AUDIO PLAYER and output the signal from these jacks through the D/A
DIRECTLINE OUT jacks. (The D/A DIRECTLINE OUT jacks do not output analog
signals input through the LINE IN jacks.)
