Connecting for multichannel surround sound

To enjoy multichannel surround sound from DVD-Video, DVD-Audio and SACD discs, we recommend connecting this player to an AV receiver using the 5.1 channel analog outputs or the i.LINK connector.

The player also has optical and coaxial digital outputs should you want to use an external decoder or the decoder in your AV receiver. Note that multichannel DVD-Audio and 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.

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 following illustrations show a standard (composite) 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 SACD discs.

1Connect the AUDIO OUT (5.1ch) 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.
