Home Theater Component Connections

The connections on this page demonstrate the versatility of this player to conform to any number of home entertainment systems.

Please note that the illustration shown on this page is meant as an example. Please refer to the manuals supplied with the components to which you are making connections to determine the best possible setup for your home system.

An explanation of each type of audio and video connection available can be found on pages 16-18.

S-video connection produces a high quality video image. If you have a TV or monitor that features an S-video input, make video connections from one of the S-VIDEO OUT jacks on the player to the S-VIDEO IN jack on the TV or monitor using an S-video cord (not included) (page 18).

Make connections from the AUDIO OUT (5.1 channel) on the player to an AV receiver or amplifier with 6 channel discrete input, often referred to as “5.1 channel ready” or “Dolby Digital ready”. This allows you to use the high quality DVD-Audio, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG decoding capabilities of the player (page 17). When making this kind of connection, be sure to select [5.1 Channel] in the Setup Navigator [Analog Jacks] screen (page 22).
