Connecting the DVD player
—Continued
Before Connecting
• Before making any connections, turn off the DVD
player and AV receiver, and disconnect them from the
wall outlets. Failure to do so may result in speaker
damage.
Connection Hints
•To enjoy Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound, you
must connect the DVD player to your AV receiver by
using an optical or coaxial digital audio cable or
HDMI cable. See page 24 for HDMI connection infor-
mation.
•To record the audio from a CD-R disc to a cassette
deck or CDR recorder that’s connected to the AV
receiver, or if you want to use your AV receiver’s
Zone 2 function, you must connect the DVD player’s
stereo analog audio output to your AV receiver.
• If your AV receiver has an analog multichannel input,
we recommend that you connect it to the DVD
player’s multichannel analog output. This will ensure
that you can enjoy all types of discs, including Dolby
Digital and DTS DVD-Video discs, and DVD-Audio
and SACD discs containing multichannel audio at
higher sampling rates.
Connecting the Analog Output
Connect the FRONT/D.MIX 1 or 2 AUDIO OUTPUT
jacks on this player to a set of analog audio inputs on
your AV receiver with the supplied AV cable (RCA).
The FRONT/D.MIX 1 and 2 jacks output the same sig-
nals, so use either pair.
Note:
• If you use this connection, in the Speaker Configura-
tion (page 48), set the Subwoofer, Center Speaker, and
Surround Speaker settings to Off, so that multichannel
audio sources are down mixed into two channels.
Connecting the Digital Output
Connect one of the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jacks
on this player to a digital input on your AV receiver.
A coaxial digital audio cable is supplied with this player.
If your AV receiver doesn’t support Dolby Digital and
DTS, set the Digital/HDMI Audio Out setting to PCM.
See page 48, and also refer to the operating instructions
that came with your AV receiver.
Note that digital audio is not output when playing SACD
discs.
Connecting to an AV Receiver
Step 1: Audio Connection
You can connect the DVD player to your AV receiver
using the multichannel analog audio output or one of
the digital audio outputs. In addition, you should also
connect a 2-channel analog audio output for compati-
bility all certain discs.
Step 2: Video Connection (See pages 20–21)
You may also want to connect the DVD player’s video
output to your AV receiver and connect the AV
receiver’s video output to a video input on your TV.
You can use any of the DVD player’s video outputs.
Typically, you must use the same type of video cable
to connect your DVD player to your AV receiver as
you do to connect your AV receiver to your TV.
