Getting Started 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. If 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 the ANALOG 5.1CH OUT jacks, you can play multi-channel Super Audio CDs and enjoy 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 on 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).

The signal is output in higher quality from the ANALOG 2CH OUT jacks (see page 9). • During playback of a Multi-channel Super Audio CD, the same signal is output from the ANALOG 5.1CH FRONT L/R jacks and ANALOG 2CH OUT jacks. (The downmixed signal of the Multi-channel siginal is not played back.) • There are 5CH, 4CH, and 3CH Super Audio CD.
