Connecting using the multichannel analog outputs | Pioneer DV-668AV

Connecting up

02

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.

•In order to be able to hear multichannel sound from SACDs, DVD-Video and DVD- Audio discs, you need to set SACD Playback to Multi-ch Area, and the Audio Output Mode to 5.1 Channel (see SACD Playback on page 71 and Audio Output Mode on page 73).

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.
