Analog Audio Connection: After making physical connections to either the AUDIO OUT (2 CH) or AUDIO OUT (5.1 CH) analog jacks, be sure to identify which output you are going to be using in the [Analog Jacks] screen of the Setup Navigator (page 22). You can also manually set the output in the [Audio Out] setting of the Setup screen Audio 2 menu (page 31). Notes • When "5.1 Channel" is selected, the front right (R) and front left (L) audio channels output from the AUDIO OUT (2 CH) analog jacks (page 32). • The [Audio Out] setting creates an audio output default for the player. If connections are made to both AUDIO OUT (2 CH) and AUDIO OUT (5.1 CH) analog jacks to make different audio connections for multichannel and stereo audio sources, it is possible to switch between 2 channel and 5.1 channel audio output by pressing 5.1 CH MODE on the front panel. However, this button does not work when the GUI indicator is lit. 2 CHANNEL AUDIO OUT • Make analog audio connections to a stereo amplifier or receiver. • Analog audio connections can also be made to a TV or monitor with stereo input jacks. • Use the supplied audio cable to connect one of the AUDIO OUT (2 CH) analog jacks on the player to the audio input on the stereo amplifier or receiver. • When making analog audio connections, be sure to match the color of the plugs with the color of the jacks (red and white). • When making this kind of connection, be sure to press 5.1 CH MODE on the front panel to select 2 channel analog audio output (pages 22 and 31). DV-C302D 5.1 CHANNEL AUDIO OUT 5.1 channel audio refers to the current industry surround sound standard requiring two front speakers, a center speaker, two surround (rear) speakers and a sub woofer. Although in actuality there are 6 channels, because the sub woofer channel, or LFE channel, makes up a mere fraction of the total audio soundtrack, it has been designated as the 0.1 of the 5.1 system. By utilizing the player's internal multichannel audio decoder, the audio of Dolby Digital DVDs can be output from the 5.1 channel discrete outputs to an AV amplifier or receiver with 5.1 channel input capability. • Use audio cables to make connections from the player's AUDIO OUT (5.1 ch) jacks to the equivalent input jacks on the AV amplifier or receiver. • When making 5.1 channel analog audio connections, be sure to match the left and right channels on both components, and also make sure that the jacks of all the channels are connected correctly on both components. • Either 2 single audio cords or a stereo cord may be used to connect the CENTER and SUB WOOFER channels to the AV amplifier or receiver. • When making this kind of connection, be sure to press 5.1 CH MODE on the front panel to select 5.1 channel analog audio output (pages 22 and 31).
