2 Connecting Up 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). 1 If your amplifier has stereo inputs only, connect them here. Important Before making or changing any rear panel connections, make sure that all components are switched off and unplugged from the wall outlet. 2 If your amplifier has 5.1 channel analog inputs, connect them here. Connect to the FRONT L (left)/R (right), SURROUND L/R, CENTER and SUBWOOFER inputs of your amplifier.

Connecting analog audio cables Be sure to fully insert each plug for the best connection. The plugs and jacks are colourcoded to make connection easier. Connecting optical cables Optical interconnects only plug in one way, so make OPTICAL sure the plug is correctly lined up with the jack before inserting. 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. 4 Plug into a standard AC wall outlet. Connecting coaxial cables Use an interconnect with a pin-type (also called RCA or phono) plug on each end to connect up digital COAX 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. 12
