Hooking Up the Audio Components

Connect the Super Audio CD player to an audio component. Be sure to turn off the power of all components before making connections and connect securely to prevent noise.

When you have an amplifier equipped with the 5.1CH input jacks (multi-channel amplifier, AV amplifier, etc.) and connect the player and the amplifier via ANALOG 5.1CH OUT jacks, you can play a multi-channel Super Audio CD and enjoy the multi-channel playback.

For normal playback, connect the player and an amplifier via ANALOG 2CH OUT jacks.

Connecting via ANALOG 5.1CH OUT jacks

Use audio connecting cords for this connection. Connect the ANALOG 5.1CH OUT jacks (FRONT L/R, SURR L/R, CENTER, SUBWOOFER) to the corresponding jacks of your amplifier. For FRONT or SURR connection, use the connecting cords (Red and White jacks) and be sure to match the colour-coded pin to the appropriate jacks: white (left) to white and red (right) to red. For CENTER and SUB WOOFER connection, use the connecting cords (Black).

Notes

When you make the Multi-channel connection, connect the ANALOG 2CH OUT jacks also using another audio connecting cord so that you can play a CD (or SACD) when you set the input selector of your amplifier to CD (or SACD) input .

During playback of a conventional CD or a 2CH Super Audio CD, the same signal that is output from the ANALOG 2CH OUT jacks is also output from the ANALOG 5.1CH FRONT L/ R jacks.

During playback of a Multi-channel Super Audio CD, the same signal that is output from the ANALOG 5.1CH FRONT L/R jacks is also output from the ANALOG 2CH OUT jacks. (The down mixed signal of the Multi-channel signal is not played back.)

There are 5CH, 4CH, and 3CH Super Audio CD. When you play these disc, the signal does not output from all the jacks of the ANALOG 5.1CH OUT. For details of the playback, see the cover or instructions of the Super Audio CD.
