Making Connections

Optional Audio Connections

This DVD Player provides numerous ways to take full advantage of the digital multi channel sound recorded on DVD media.

When listening to DVD-Audio

For full enjoyment of DVD-Audio media, it is recommended to make connections to the 6-channel ANALOG OUTPUT jacks. Audio output of DVD-Audio cannot be played back efficiently when output as a bitstream or PCM from the DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks.

Analog connections

In addition to offering two stereo outputs for connection to a stereo system, two types of multi channel analog output allow you to make connections to an AV component that features multi channel analog input for full enjoyment of multi channel DVD-Audio discs.

Making stereo audio connections

By making connections to a stereo system, you can improve the quality of the sound of cinematic presentations as well as make effective use of the DVD Player’s ability to play back CDs.

Using an audio cable (sold separately), make audio connections from the ANALOG OUTPUT CH1 or CH2 L and R jacks to the corresponding jacks on the stereo component.

Be sure to set Audio Out Select to “Analog 2Ch” using the on- screen menu explained in “Customizing the Function Settings” starting on page 44. See page 48 for direct information.

Notes

•Be sure to match the colors of the plugs on the cable with the corresponding jacks on the DVD Player and the stereo component: red for R (right) audio and white for L (left) audio.

•Do not make connections to the PHONO or TUNER jacks on the stereo component.

•When this type of connection is made, be sure to set Audio Out Select to “Analog 2Ch” in order to enjoy the Dolby Pro Logic surround sound.
