Connecting analog audio cables
Be sure to fully insert each plug for the best
connection. The plugs and jacks are color-
coded to make connection easier.
Connecting optical cables
Optical interconnects
only plug in one way, so
make sure the plug is
correctly lined up with
the jack before insert-
ing. When inserting the
plug, the protective
shutter will open and you should hear it click
into position when fully inserted. Be careful
that you do not force the plug, because this
could result in damage to the
protective shutter, the cable, or the unit
itself.
Home theater audio connections
This player outputs multi-channel audio in
both analog and digital form. Check the
manual for your amplifier/receiver to see
what equipment it is compatible with
(especially which digital formats—Dolby
Digital, DTS, etc.—it can decode).
Important
Before making or changing any rear panel connec-
tions, make sure that all components are switched
off and unplugged from the wall outlet.
Connecting coaxial cables
Use an interconnect with a pin-type (also
called RCA or phono)
plug on each end to
connect up digital
coaxial-type jacks.
Make sure that the
plug is pushed fully
home.
Note
If you listen to multichannel DVD-Audio through
one of the digital outputs, it will be downmixed to
stereo. Also, high sampling rate DVD-Audio
(192kHz or 176.4kHz) will be downsampled to
96kHz, 88.2kHz, 48kHz or 44.1kHz, depending
on the disc (see page 38). Multi channel and high
sampling rate DVD-Audio is only available through
the analog outputs.
All DVD-Audio and all Super Audio CD audio is
output only through the analog outputs (see page
39).
