Audio connections

Three types of audio connection can be made between the Sonata DV30 and your stereo or AV system:

Right	Powered	Left
speaker	Subwoofer	speaker

1Analogue stereo (with or without subwoofer)

The Sonata DV30 is capable of playing Dolby Digital or LPCM soundtracks itself and outputting these as analogue 2.1. To connect to a stereo receiver (such as the matching AR30 or DR30) or amplified speaker system, use stereo phono/RCA cables as shown.

If you have an AR30 or DR30 and subwoofer, you can also connect the DV30’s subwoofer output to the receiver’s subwoofer input, and the receiver’s subwoofer output to your subwoofer.

2Digital audio

The digital audio outputs can be used to send the surround-sound soundtracks of DVDs to an external AV receiver (Note: SPDIF output must be set to ‘RAW Bitstream’ in the Audio Setup menu). The Sonata DV30 sends an undecoded audio bitstream to the AV receiver for decoding into 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1, etc.

Either a 75ohm co-axial cable designed for digital audio or a TOSlink fibre optic cable should be used (only one at a time).

Note: It is also possible to output stereo digital audio from the Digital Outputs for recording on conventional CD-R/MD machines, etc. See the section on DVD player setup for more information.

3HDMI

The HDMI output can send audio and video either directly to a TV or via an AV receiver for decoding surround-sound, etc. See page 15 for more information.
