Connecting up

Connecting to an amplifier

You can connect this player to your amplifier or receiver using the analog outputs or one of the digital outputs.

If you connect using one of the digital outputs, you should also connect the 2 channel analog outputs for compatibility with all discs.

2Connect one of the digital outputs to the corresponding digital input on your amplifier. For an optical connection, use an optical cable (not supplied) to connect the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT jack to an optical input on your amplifier.

For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL OUT jack to a coaxial input on your amplifier.

Note that SACD audio is not output through these jacks, so this connection should be in addition to, rather than instead of, an analog connection.

Using the remote sensor of another Pioneer component

Many Pioneer components have SR CONTROL jacks which can be used to link components together. This allows you to use the remote sensor of just one component, which is useful if you want to put several components out of view (for example, in a closed shelf space). When you use a remote control, the control signal is passed along the chain to the

appropriate component.1

Note that if you use this feature, make sure that you also have at least one set of analog audio jacks connected to another component for grounding purposes.

1Decide which component you want to use the remote sensor of.

When you want to control any component in the chain, this is the remote sensor at which you’ll point the corresponding remote control.

Note

1If you have connected a remote control to the CONTROL IN jack (using a mini-plug cable), you won't be able to control this unit using the remote sensor.
