External Decoder Connections

If you’re a true audiophile, you’re probably famil- iar with DVD-Audio and SACD, multi-channel audio formats that require their own decoding and unique connection methods. Follow these steps to connect a DVD, DVD-A, or SACD player with up to 7.1-channel analog outputs.

Connecting a DVD-A/SACD Player

1Using eight RCA cables, connect the 7.1 channel analog audio outputs from your DVD player to the corresponding Ext 7.1 inputs on the GTP-870HD.

2If your DVD player has 5.1-channel analog out- puts, use six RCA cables and omit the RB and LB connections.

Ext. 7.1

Inputs

RF LF

RS LS

RB LB

C S ext 7.1 inputs

Tip

The External 7.1 inputs

bypass the internal

Analog to Digital Converter.

As a result, they can also be used as a “high-end” analog 2-channel input for those who desire a ‘direct’ analog input.
