Connecting up
audio is not output through these jacks, so
this connection should be in addition to,
rather than instead of, a 5.1 channel analog
connection.
You'll probably also want to connect a video
output to your AV receiver. You can use any of
the video outputs available on this player (the
following illustrations show a standard
(composite) connection).
Connecting using the multichannel
analog outputs
If your AV receiver has 5.1 channel analog
inputs, we recommend connecting this player
to it using the multichannel analog outputs.
Doing this will ensure that you can enjoy all
kinds of disc, including Dolby Digital and DTS
DVD-Video discs, as well as high sampling
rate and multichannel DVD-Audio and SACD
discs.
• In order to be able to hear multichannel
sound from SACDs, DVD-Video and DVD-
Audio discs, you need to set SACD
Playback to Multi-ch Area, and the
Audio Output Mode to 5.1 Channel
(see SACD Playback on page 71 and Audio
Output Mode on page 73).
