Pioneer DV-59AVI, DV-S969AVi Connecting using a digital audio output, AV receiver

02Connecting up

•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 using a digital audio output

Connect the optical or coaxial digital outputs if you want to use an external decoder or the decoder in your AV receiver.

To be able to play SACDs and multichannel DVD-Audio discs, you should also connect the 5.1 channel analog outputs (Connecting using the multichannel analog outputs above).

If your AV receiver doesn’t have 5.1 channel analog inputs, make a stereo analog connec- tion.

1Connect one of the DIGITAL OUT jacks on this player to a digital input on your AV receiver.

Optical connection: Use an optical cable (not supplied) to connect the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT 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

as this may damage the shutter, the cable and/or the player.

Coaxial connection: Use a coaxial cable (similar to the supplied video cable) to connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL OUT jack to a coaxial input on your AV receiver.
