Basic Connection:

Connecting and Using the SZA-1

• Increasingly, televisions and other devices are providing digital audio outputs. Use the DAC-1 (Digital-to-Analog Con­verter) to convert the digital information into an analog signal necessary for whole-house audio distribution.

• Works great with Apple TV® as well as other devices with either an optical or digital coax output. Optical and digital
coax cables sold separately. See the diagrams below for more information about these uses.
