Audio connection: Connect the MIX LINE OUTPUT
jacks of the player to the audio input jacks of the
AV amplifier using the provided audio cables.
Digital audio connection: Connect the OPTICAL
DIGITAL OUTPUT connector of the player to the
digital audio input connector of the AV amplifier.
¶ Do not bend or bundle the optical fiber cable.
Be sure to attach the protection caps on the
optical connectors when they are not used.
¶ It is also possible to perform digital connection
using a commercially available coaxial cable and
the COAXIAL DIGITAL OUTPUT jack. In the
coaxial digital connection, be sure to use a digital
audio cable, not an ordinary audio cable.
Video connection: Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT jack
of the player to the video input jack of the AV am-
plifier using the provided video cable.
S Video connection: When the connected TV has an
S Video connector, connect the S VIDEO OUTPUT
connector of the player to it using the provided

luminance signal (Y) and color signal (C), it can
provide sharper pictures than ordinary video
