Connecting an AV receiver or amplifier

Connect to an AV receiver or amplifier in order to enjoy the surround sound of Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio or DTS Digital Surround. For instructions on connecting the TV and speakers to the AV receiver or amplifier, refer to the operating instructions of AV receiver or amplifier.

Caution

Hold the plug when connecting and disconnecting the cable.

Placing a load on the plug could result in faulty contact and no video signals being output.

To use the KURO LINK function, connect the AV receiver or amplifier to the HDMI OUT (MAIN) terminal. The KURO LINK function will not work if connected to the HDMI OUT (SUB) terminal.

The HDMI OUT (SUB) terminal outputs linear PCM 2-channel audio signals. Be sure to connect the AV receiver or amplifier to the HDMI OUT (MAIN) terminal.

When DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio signals are output as linear PCM signals, the DTS Digital Surround signals are converted to linear PCM for output (page 54).

See Stretching widescreen pictures vertically (Anamorphic Zoom) on page 52 for instructions on viewing 2.35:1 movies with a front projector equipped with an anamorphic lens.

Achieving better sound quality

When connecting one TV (or projector) and AV amplifier to the player, connect in such a way that the video and audio signals are transferred separately in order to achieve higher quality sound.

Note

Using the Pure Audio function provides high quality sound with extraneous noise eliminated (page 53).
