Connecting to an AV Receiver

Step 1: Audio Connection

You can connect the DVD player to your AV receiver using the multichannel analog audio output or one of the digital audio outputs. In addition, you should also connect a 2-channel analog audio output for compati- bility all certain discs.

Step 2: Video Connection (See pages 20–21)

You may also want to connect the DVD player’s video output to your AV receiver and connect the AV receiver’s video output to a video input on your TV. You can use any of the DVD player’s video outputs. Typically, you must use the same type of video cable to connect your DVD player to your AV receiver as you do to connect your AV receiver to your TV.

Before Connecting

•Before making any connections, turn off the DVD player and AV receiver, and disconnect them from the wall outlets. Failure to do so may result in speaker damage.

Connecting the Analog Output

Connect the FRONT/D.MIX 1 or 2 AUDIO OUTPUT jacks on this player to a set of analog audio inputs on your AV receiver with the supplied AV cable (RCA).

The FRONT/D.MIX 1 and 2 jacks output the same sig- nals, so use either pair.
