Connecting to an Amplifier (To Enjoy the Sound Advantage of the DVD Player)

Although you can reproduce the DVD Player’s sound from the TV speakers with the connections on pages 15 and 16, connecting

with an amplifier provides you high quality dynamic sounds.

Before connecting

Refer to the instruction manual of the amplifier.

When you connect the DVD Player to the amplifier, be sure to turn off the power and unplug both units from the mains before making any connections. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged.

Connect the plugs securely.

Notes

The remote controller supplied with Integra/Onkyo amplifier can be used to operate the DVD player.

The function of the upper and lower z connectors are the same. Connect to either one.

Connecting z cable only does not make the system operational. You must also connect the audio cables as well.

When using the optical input jack, remove the protective cap and keep it safely. When the jack is not used, replace the protective cap.

Making a digital connection with the amplifier

If your amplifier has a digital input jack, be sure to connect it to either DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL jack on the DVD player.

Note

DO NOT connect to the AC-3RF input (e.g. of a Dolby Digital receiver) which is reserved only for video disc players.

To ensure proper delivery of sound, be sure to match the names of the jacks on the DVD Player and the component being connected to.

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 (192kHz or 176.4kHz) will be downsampled to 96kHz, 88.2kHz, 48kHz, or 44.1 khz, depending on the disc. Multi channel and high sampling rate DVD-Audio is only available through the analog outputs.

Some DVD-Audio and all SACD audio is output only through the analog outputs.
