Connecting For Surround Sound - Pioneer BDP-LX 70A Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting for surround sound

This player offers both analog and digital connections for surround
sound. The digital outputs (coaxial and optical) provide a convenient
way to connect this player to an AV receiver with built-in Dolby
Digital and/or DTS decoders. The 5.1ch analog outputs can be used
to connect to an AV receiver with multi-channel analog audio inputs.
Check the operating instructions that came with your AV receiver for
more on these connections.
Digital connections
• Connect one of the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL/
OPTICAL) jacks on this player to a digital input on your AV

Optical connection: Use an optical cable (not supplied) to connect
the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT OPTICAL jack to an optical input on your
AV receiver.
• When inserting the plug, the protective shutter will open and
you should hear the plug click into position when fully inserted.
Take care not to force the plug as this may damage the shutter,
the cable and/or the player.
Coaxial connection: Use a coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect
the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL jack to a coaxial input on your
AV receiver.
Note
• Linear PCM audio output over the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
(COAXIAL/OPTICAL) jacks is limited to 2ch, 48 kHz.
