02Connecting up

You usually have to connect the same kind of video cable between your DVD player and AV receiver, and between your AV receiver and TV.

Connecting using i.LINK

If you have a receiver with an i.LINK connector, you can connect it to this player using the supplied i.LINK cable.

The i.LINK connector outputs every kind of digital audio that the player is compatible with, including DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, SACD, Video CD/Super VCD, CD and MP3. In contrast, the optical and coaxial digital outputs do not output SACD and multi- channel DVD-Audio.

When playing DVD-Audio*1, CD or SACD discs over i.LINK, the digital audio is jitterless if the connected receiver is compatible with PQLS (rate control). See the operating instructions that came with your receiver for information on compatibility with this feature.

*1 Excluding any part of the disc that features moving video (Video part).

There may be cases where the PQLS/rate control function and/or the i.LINK audio does not work properly even when connected to i.LINK Audio-compatible equipment.

Do not disconnect i.LINK cables or switch off any components connected using i.LINK while this player is on.

Copy-protected 96kHz DVD-Video discs are downsampled to 48kHz when using the i.LINK connection.

The arrow on the cable connector body should be face down for correct align- ment with the connector on the player.

2Connect the VIDEO OUT jack on this player to a video input on your AV receiver.

The i.LINK connectors on this player do not output video.

The diagram shows a standard video connection, but you can alternatively use the S-video or component video connec- tions if they’re available or D video (Except Australian model).

In order to be able to hear multichannel sound from SACDs, you need to set SACD Playback to Multi-ch Area (see SACD Playback on page 68).

In order to hear multichannel sound from DVD-Audio discs, make sure that DVD- Audio Out is set to 5.1 Channel (see DVD-Audio Out on page 75).
