In this configuration you can enjoy all audio formats using the HDMI connection.
NOTE
HDMI is a wonderful thing. A single cable can transport both audio AND video from your DVD
player to your display. Be aware, however, that HDMI is an evolving standard, and there
could be compatibility issues. The OPPO DV-981HD supports HDMI 1.1 audio. A receiver
that supports HDMI 1.1 is required in order to play multi-channel audio for all formats,
including DVD-Video/Audio and SACD (SACD DSD audio converted to multi-channel PCM).
If the receiver supports HDMI 1.0 only, DVD-Audio and SACD will NOT be able to be sent via
HDMI. To utilize DVD-Audio or SACD, please see next section for multi-channel analogue
audio connection.
Multi-Channel Analog Audio to Receiver
If your DVD player is connected to an A/V receiver through the 5.1ch analog audio jacks using 6 RCA cables
(as described in “Method 4” on page
11), you can play all supported audio formats and listen to it with your
A/V receiver and surround systems. The following setup options are recommended:
• Set the Speaker Setup Page > Down-mix to “5.1CH”.
• Set the speaker size and subwoofer properly according to your actual audio hardware.
• Enable or select the multi-channel analog inputs on your receiver

Using the multi-channel analog audio output is necessary for playing DVD-Audio and SACD if your receiver
does not support HDMI multi-channel audio. This is absolutely worth it if you haven’t yet upgraded to a
receiver with HDMI audio. Truly discrete audio channels are a wondrous thing, so enjoy them if you can.
Coaxial or Optical Digital Audio to Receiver
If your audio connection is as described in “Method 5” on page
12 of this guide, and the A/V receiver support
Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, the following setup options are recommended:
