Dolby Pro Logic Receivers

If you have an older Dolby Pro Logic surround receiver that does not support Dolby Digital or DTS but has multi- channel inputs, you will want to connect the 6 analogue outputs of the OPPO DVD player to the analogue multi- channel inputs of your receiver. To do this you must:

Use six (6) analogue RCA-style cables and set the Speaker Setup Page > Down-mixto “5.1CH”.

Enable or select the multi-channel analogue inputs on your receiver

This is absolutely worth it if you haven’t yet upgraded your receiver. Truly discrete audio channels are a wondrous thing, so enjoy them if you can.

SACD or DVD-Audio Playback

To utilize SACD or DVD-Audio* you will also need to connect six (6) analogue RCA-style cables from the OPPO DVD player to your receiver’s multi-channel analogue inputs. These multi-channel outputs will also support playback of DVD-Audio, DTS, Dolby Digital and stereo sources. Here are some general notes and guidelines to following depending upon what formats you intend to play:

No DVD-Audio or SACD: Use HDMI or one of the digital cable connection choices if you do not intend to use SACDs or DVD-Audio discs in your system.

DVD-Audio But No SACD: Use HDMI if you have a receiver that handles HDMI audio and multi- channel outputs if you do not. To do this you must have a receiver with available multi-channel inputs. Set the Speaker Setup Page > Down-mixto “5.1CH”.

DVD-Audio and SACD: Use HDMI if you have a receiver that handles HDMI audio and the analogue audio outputs for SACD. To do this you must have a receiver with available multi-channel inputs. Set the Speaker Setup Page > Down-mixto “5.1CH”.

*DVD-Audio and SACD (DSD converted to PCM) can also be played back via HDMI to a receiver which supports HDMI 1.1 audio. “DVD-Audio” is a high resolution PCM-based format and is not to be confused with the Dolby Digital or DTS audio found on normal DVDs.
