Connecting the digital output

This player has both optical and coaxial-type digital audio outputs for connection to an AV receiver. Connect whichever is convenient.

Depending on the capabilities of your AV receiver, you might have to set up this player to output only digital audio in a compatible format. See Digital Audio Out settings on page 34 and refer to the operating instructions that came with your AV receiver.

Note that SACD audio is not output through these jacks, so this connection should be in addition to, rather than instead of, a 5.1 channel analog connection.

•Connect one of the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks on this player to a digital input on your AV receiver.

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

For an optical connection, use an optical cable (not supplied) to connect the OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to an optical input on your AV receiver.

For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable (similar to the supplied video cable) to connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to a coaxial input on your AV receiver.
