Using the DIGITAL MEDIA 
PORT Adapter
The DIGITAL MEDIA PORT (DMPORT) 
adapter (not supplied) is for enjoying sound 
from a portable audio source or computer. By 
connecting a DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter, 
you can enjoy sound from the connected 
component on the system.
Available DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapters 
vary in each area.
For details on connecting the DIGITAL MEDIA 
PORT adapter, see “To connect the DIGITAL 
MEDIA PORT adapter” (page 21).
Note Do not connect an adapter other than the DIGITAL 
MEDIA PORT adapter.
