5.1 CHANNEL AUDIO OUT

5.1channel audio refers to the current industry surround sound standard requiring two front speakers, a center speaker, two surround (rear) speakers and a sub woofer. Although in actuality there are 6 channels, because the sub woofer channel, or LFE channel, makes up a mere fraction of the total audio soundtrack, it has been designated as the 0.1 of the 5.1 system.

By utilizing the player’s internal multichannel audio decoder, the audio of DVD-Audio, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG DVDs can be output from the 5.1 channel discrete outputs to an AV amplifier or receiver with 5.1 channel input capability.

Use audio cables to make connections from the player’s AUDIO OUT (5.1 channel) jacks to the equivalent input jacks on the AV amplifier or receiver.

When making 5.1 channel analog audio connections, be sure to match the left and right channels on both components, and also make sure that the jacks of all the channels are connected correctly on both components.

Either 2 single audio cords or a stereo cord may be used to connect the CENTER and SUB WOOFER channels to the AV amplifier or receiver.

When making this kind of connection, be sure to select [5.1 Channel] in the Setup Navigator [Analog Jacks] screen

(page 21).
