4Connect the AV receiver’s video output to a video input on your TV.

•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 i.LINK

If you have a receiver with an i.LINK connector, you can connect it to this player using the supplied i.LINK cable.

The i.LINK connector outputs every kind of digital audio that the player is compatible with, including DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, SACD, Video CD, CD and MP3. In contrast, the optical and coaxial digital outputs do not output SACD and multichannel DVD-Audio.

When playing DVD-Audio*1, CD or SACD discs over i.LINK, the digital audio is jitterless if the connected receiver is compatible with PQLS (rate control). See the operating instructions that came with your receiver for information on compatibility with this feature.

*1 Excluding any part of the disc that features moving video (Video part).

•There may be cases where the PQLS/rate control function and/or the i.LINK audio does not work properly even when connected to i.LINK Audio-compatible equipment.

•Do not disconnect i.LINK cables or switch off any components connected using i.LINK while this player is on.
