Pioneer 655A, DV-656A Connecting Up, Connecting for multichannel surround sound

Connecting Up 02

•Only NTSC video is output when set to progressive scan.

•This player is compatible with D1, D2,

D3 and D4 input jacks, however, when connected to a D1 jack, only interlace video is output.

•If you connect both one or both of the S-video jacks, and the D video connector, and one of the connected components is not S1/S2 compatible, the automatic aspect ratio switching will not work with any of the connected components.

Connecting for multichannel surround sound

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 (compos- ite) connection).

Connecting using 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 (for DV-655A) SACD discs.

1Connect 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.
