Home theater audio connections

This player outputs multi-channel audio in digital form. Check the manual for your amplifier/receiver to see what equipment it is compatible with (especially which digital formats such as Dolby Digital, DTS, etc. It can decode).

1	If your amplifier has 5.1 channel analog	2
	inputs, connect them here. Connect

to the L (left)/R (right), SURR.L/.R (SURROUND L/R), CENTER and SUB WOOFER inputs of your amplifier.

Important

•Before making or changing any rear panel connections, make sure that all components are switched off and unplugged from the wall outlet.

•While a connected component is turned on, do not unplug the power cord of this DVD player from the wall outlet. The speaker may be damaged.

If your amplifier has stereo inputs only, connect them here. You can connect a subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER Jack.

Connecting analog audio cables

Be sure to fully insert each plug for the best connection. The plugs and jacks are color-coded to make connection easier.

Connecting coaxial cables
Use an interconnector with a pin-type
(also called RCA	COAX
or phono) plug on
each end to connect
up digital coaxial-
type jacks. Make
sure that the plug is
pushed fully home.

Connecting optical cables

Optical intercon-	OPT
nects only plug in
one way, so make
sure the plug is
correctly lined up
with the jack before
insertion. When
inserting the plug,

the protective shutter will open and you should hear it click into position when fully inserted. Be careful that you do not force the plug, because this could result in dam- age to the protective shutter, the cable, or the unit itself.

Note

•If you listen to multichannel DVD-Audio through one of the digital outputs, it will be downmixed to stereo. Also, high sampling rate DVD-Audio (192 kHz or 176.4 kHz) will be downsampled to 96 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz, depending on the disc. Multi channel and high sampling rate DVD-Audio are only available through the analog outputs.

•All DVD-Audio and all Super Audio CD audio are output only through the analog outputs. (see page 39)
