Getting started

Connection

As this unit has built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoders (➡ page 34), you can enjoy discs recorded with these systems by connecting this unit to the 6-channel input terminals on an AV amplifier (connection [B] below). However, to enjoy the special sound effects available with AV amplifiers that can make you feel like you were in a cinema or hall, connect this unit digitally to the AV amplifier (connection [A] below).

Use analog connection [B] to enjoy the high quality audio (sampling frequencies of 192 kHz and 96 kHz) and multi-channel audio found on DVD-Audio. If the disc is copyright-protected, the audio can only be output through the digital output terminal if it is converted to 48 kHz.
