Connecting to an AV receiver

You can connect this player to your AV receiver using the
multichannel analog outputs or one of the digital outputs.
In addition to these connections, you should also connect the 2
channel analog outputs for compatibility with all discs.
You'll probably also want to connect a video output to your AV
receiver. You can use any of the video outputs available on this
player (the illustration shows a standard (composite) connection).

between your DVD player and AV receiver, and between your AV
receiver and TV.

Connecting 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.
• Connect the multi-channel audio 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.
