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.

2Connect the VIDEO OUT jack on this player to a video input on your AV receiver.

•Alternatively, you can use the S-Video or component video connections if they’re available or D video (Except Australian model).

3Connect 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 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.
