Connecting the multichannel analog outputs

If your AV receiver has 5.1 channel analog inputs, we recommend connecting this player to it using the multichannel analog outputs. Doing this will ensure that you can enjoy all kinds of disc, including Dolby Digital and DTS DVD-Video discs, as well as high sampling rate and multichannel DVD-Audio and SACD discs.

Connect the multi-channel audio outputs on this player to the multi-channel audio inputs on your AV receiver.

It’s convenient to use three stereo audio cables; one for the FRONT, one for the SURROUND and one for the CENTER and SUBWOOFER channels.

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 39 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.

You can also use the S-video or component video jacks to connect to the AV receiver if you prefer.

Tip

After connecting up and switching on, you should change the Audio Output Mode setting in the Initial Setup menu from the default 2 Channel to 5.1 Channel. See also Audio Output Mode on page 45.

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
