Connecting to an AV receiver
You can connect this player to your AV receiver
using the multichannel analog outputs or one
of the digital outputs.
In addition to these connections, you should
also connect the 2 channel analog outputs for
compatibility with all discs.
You’ll probably also want to connect a video
output to your AV receiver. You can use any of
the video outputs available on this player (the
illustration shows a standard (composite)
connection).
1 Connect the analog AUDIO OUT 2ch
and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks on this player to
a set of analog audio and video inputs on
your AV receiver.
2Connect the AV receiver’s video output
to a video input on your TV.
The diagram shows standard video connec-
tions, but you can alternatively use the S-Video
or component video connections if they’re avail-
able.
Tip
•You usually have to connect the same kind
of video cable between your DVD player
and AV receiver, and between your AV
receiver and TV.

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 MULTICHANNEL 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.
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 41.
