Making MULTI CHANNEL OUTPUT connection

The MULTI CHANNEL OUTPUT is a DB-25 port that can output up to 5.1 channels of decoded analog audio from DVD-Video and DVD-Audio sources to a receiver or other AV component that features a similar input port. Ideally you want to connect two identical ports together via a single DB-25 cable.

Be sure to set Audio Out Select to “Analog 6Ch” using the on- screen menu explained in “Customizing the Function Settings” starting on page 44. See page 48 for direct information.

Notes

•When connecting the cable, be sure to secure the locking screws on the DB-25 connectors.

•The output from this port is the same as from the 6-channel ANALOG OUTPUT jacks.

When you are making connections to an amp or receiver that has internal Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG decoding capabilities, set Audio Out Select to “Bitstream” using the on-screen menu explained in “Customizing the Function Settings” starting on page 44. See page 48 for direct information.

When you are making connections to an amp or receiver that has digital input capabilities, but no internal decoder, set Audio Out Select to “PCM” using the on-screen menu explained in “Customizing the Function Settings” starting on page 44. See page 48 for direct information. Setting Audio Out Select to any other setting could result in digital noise being output that

could cause harm your hearing and may also damage your speakers.
