This connection sends an audio signal to the unit from the TV. To listen to TV sound via the system, 
perform this connection.
Method 1: Audio cord (D) connection
This is the basic connection and sends an analog audio signal.
Method 2: Digital optical cord (E) connection
When the TV has a digital optical output jack, you can improve sound quality by connecting with a 
digital optical cord in addition to an audio cord connection.
With a digital audio connection, the system receives a Dolby Digital multiplex broadcast signal and 
you can enjoy multiplex broadcast sound.
Note The system can accept both digital and analog signals. Digital signals have priority over analog signals. If the digital 
signal ceases, the analog signal will be processed after 2 seconds.
