AUDIO CONNECTIONS

TO YOUR SURROUND CONTROLLER OR RECEIVER

There are three types of audio output connections, unbalanced analog, digital and HDMI. The proper connection will depend on your audio system’s capabilities.

Analog Audio Outputs

5.1 Channel Analog Audio Outputs

Connect these jacks to the corresponding channel input jacks of your surround controller or AV receiver. These connections are required to reproduce high resolution multi-channel DVD-A (DVD Audio) and SACD recordings because full resolution is not available via the HDMI or Digital Coaxial or Optical outputs. If you do not plan on listening to DVD-A or SACD discs you do not need to use these jacks.

Note: The D 200 supports HDMI 1.1 which does not include playback of SACD audio over HDMI.

Unbalanced Stereo Outputs

These jacks can connect to a second stereo preamp or receiver or to the remote Zone audio input jacks on a Parasound 7.1 Channel Surround Controller. They carry the same signals as the 5.1 Analog Audio Output L and R jacks.

Note: You will not hear any dialog from the stereo outputs when playing a DVD recorded with surround sound, unless you selected NONE for the center speaker in the Audio setup menu. For information on the Audio setup menu see page 19.

Digital Outputs

Connect either the Digital Coaxial jack or the Optical connector (Toslink) to one of the Coaxial or Optical inputs on your surround controller or receiver. This is your primary audio connection for use with DVD movies and CDs. When using the Coaxial output, make sure to use a digital cable that is made for this purpose; a standard audio cable will not pass digital signals correctly. Toslink cables are fragile; be very careful not to bend the fiber optic cable sharply.

Note: The D 200 Coaxial or Optical digital outputs do not carry DVD Audio and SACD digital audio signals. To play multi-channel DVD Audios and SACDs, you should also connect the 5.1 Ch Audio Output jacks.
