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).
Connecting analog audio cables
Be sure to fully insert each plug for the best connection.
The plugs and jacks are colour-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
inserting. You should hear it click into
position when fully inserted. 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.

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. 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.
If your amplifier has 5.1 channel
analog inputs, connect them here.
Connect to the FRONT L (left)/R
