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.

An amplifier with a Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG1, or MPEG2* decorder or digital input jacks

Make digital connections from the DVD Player to an AV component that features digital input capability or one or more multi-channel audio decoders to realize the full cinematic experience made possible by the DVD format. This DVD Player features two sets of optical and coaxial digital audio output jacks and can output Dolby Digital, DTS, and MPEG2* bitstreams as well as outputting standard PCM.

Make connections from the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL CH1 or CH2 jacks to the digital optical input jack on the AV component using an optical fiber cable (sold separately). Make connections from the DIGITAL OUTPUT COAXIAL CH1 or CH2 jacks to the digital coaxial input jack on the AV component using a coaxial cable (sold separately). It is not necessary to make more than one type of digital connection to a single component.

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.

Notes

•Refer to the instructions supplied with the AV component for details on what digital audio formats it is compatible with.

•After making digital audio connections, be sure to set Audio Out Select appropriately for the type of digital signal the connected AV component is compatible with using the on-screen menu explained in “Customizing the Function Settings” starting on page 44. See page 48 for direct information.

•Even if digital audio connections are made, it is also recommended to make analog connections, because some conditions or media may prohibit digital audio output.
