Digital Input Signals
Digital Connections
The VS-2480 can accept digital audio from an external digital device through the
VS-2480’s S/P DIF stereo coaxial and optical inputs or via its two R-BUS connectors. To
learn about connecting devices to these jacks, see Page 49.

The VS-2480 can receive up to 16 digital audio signals at a time (in addition to 16 analog
input signals). The eight digital audio inputs provided by the R-BUS 1 jack are always
available. You can select the remaining eight digital inputs from among the 12 offered
