02 Connecting up
Connecting using the multichannel
analog outputs
If your AV receiver has 5.1 channel analog
inputs, we recommend connecting this player
to it using the multichannel analog outputs.
Doing this will ensure that you can enjoy all
kinds of disc, including Dolby Digital and DTS
DVD-Video discs, as well as high sampling
rate and multichannel DVD-Audio and SACD
discs.
• In order to be able to hear multichannel
sound from SACDs, DVD-Video and DVD-
Audio discs, you need to set SACD Play-
back to Multi-ch Area, and the Audio
Output Mode to 5.1 Channel (SACD
Playback on page 68 and Audio Output
Mode on page 71).
1 Connect the AUDIO OUT (5.1ch)
outputs on this player to the multi-
channel audio inputs on your AV receiver.
It's convenient to use three stereo audio
cables; one for the FRONT, one for the
SURROUND and one for the CENTER and
SUBWOOFER channels.

• Alternatively, you can use the S-Video or

available or D video (Except Australian
model).
3 Connect the AV receiver's video
output to a video input on your TV.
• You usually have to connect the same
kind of video cable between your DVD
player and AV receiver, and between your
AV receiver and TV.

Connecting using a digital audio

output

Connect the optical or coaxial digital outputs
if you want to use an external decoder or the
decoder in your AV receiver.
To be able to play SACDs and multichannel
DVD-Audio discs, you should also connect
the 5.1 channel analog outputs (Connecting
