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 13 and 14, 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 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 discrete 5.1 channel ANALOG OUTPUT connections

The discrete ANALOG OUTPUT jacks are intended to deliver up to 5.1 channels of multi channel audio from DVD-Video and DVD-Audio sources. Connections can be made from the ANALOG OUTPUT FRONT, SURR (surround), CENTER, and SUBWOOFER jacks to the corresponding input jacks on an AV component with multi channel discrete audio input jacks.

Note

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.

BE sure to set the digital output setting after connection using the Setup Navigator explained in “Setting Up the Player” starting on page 17 or the function setting menu explained in “Adjusting Audio and Video Settings” starting on page 42.
