Connecting for surround sound

This player offers both analog and digital connections for surround sound. The digital outputs (coaxial and optical) provide a convenient way to connect this player to an AV receiver with built-in Dolby Digital and/or DTS decoders. The 5.1ch analog outputs can be used to connect to an AV receiver with multi-channel analog audio inputs.

Check the operating instructions that came with your AV receiver for more on these connections.

Optical connection: Use an optical cable (not supplied) to connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT OPTICAL jack to an optical input on your AV receiver.

•When inserting the plug, the protective shutter will open and you should hear the plug click into position when fully inserted. Take care not to force the plug as this may damage the shutter, the cable and/or the player.

Coaxial connection: Use a coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL jack to a coaxial input on your AV receiver.

Note

•Linear PCM audio output over the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL/OPTICAL) jacks is limited to 2ch, 48 kHz.

Analog connections 02

•Connect the AUDIO OUT (5.1ch) jacks on this player to the multi-channel analog inputs on your AV receiver.

Use a dedicated six-way cable (not supplied), or three sets of stereo cables (not supplied) to connect the six channels.

Check carefully that each channel is connected to its corresponding channel on the AV receiver.

After connecting, you can make settings for the number of speakers connected to your system — see the Speakers section of the Initial Setup menu on page 41 and Speaker Setup on page 43.
