Hooking Up The Audio Components - Sony SCD-XA777ES Operating Instructions Manual

Hooking Up the Audio Components

Connect the Super Audio CD player to an audio
component. Be sure to turn off the power of all
components before making connections and connect
securely to prevent noise.
When you have an amplifier equipped with the 5.1CH
input jacks (multi-channel amplifier, AV amplifier, etc.)
and connect the player and the amplifier via ANALOG
5.1CH OUT jacks, you can play a multi-channel Super
Audio CD and enjoy the multi-channel playback.
For normal playback, connect the player and an amplifier
via ANALOG 2CH OUT jacks.
Connecting via ANALOG 5.1CH OUT jacks
Use audio connecting cords for this connection. Connect the
ANALOG 5.1CH OUT jacks (FRONT L/R, SURR L/R, CENTER,
SUBWOOFER) to the corresponding jacks of your amplifier. For
FRONT or SURR connection, use the connecting cords (Red and
White jacks) and be sure to match the color-coded pin to the
appropriate jacks: white (left) to white and red (right) to red. For
CENTER and SUB WOOFER connection, use the connecting
cords (Black).

Notes
• When you make the Multi-channel connection, connect the
ANALOG 2CH OUT jacks also using another audio connecting
cord so that you can play a CD (or SACD) when you set the
input selector of your amplifier to CD (or SACD) input .
• During playback of a conventional CD or a 2CH Super Audio
CD, no signal is output from the ANALOG 5.1CH FRONT L/R
jacks. Instead, the signal is output in high quality from the
ANALOG 2CH OUT jacks (see page 7).
• During playback of a Multi-channel Super Audio CD, no signal
is output from the ANALOG 2CH OUT jacks.
• There are 5CH, 4CH, and 3CH Super Audio CD. When you
play these disc, the signal does not output from all the jacks of
the ANALOG 5.1CH OUT. For details of the playback, see the
cover or instructions of the Super Audio CD.
