Hooking Up the Audio Components
Connecting via ANALOG 2CH OUT jacks
Use an audio connecting cords for this connection. Connect the
ANALOG 2CH OUT L/R jacks to the CD (SACD) input jacks of
your amplifier. Be sure to match the colour-coded pin to the
appropriate jacks: white (left) to white and red (right) to red.

Notes
• During playback of a Multi-channel Super Audio CD, no signal
is output from the ANALOG 2CH OUT jacks. (SCD-XA777ES
only)
• During playback of a Multi-channel Super Audio CD, the same
signal that is output from the ANALOG 5.1CH FRONT L/R
jacks is also output from the ANALOG 2CH OUT jacks. (The
down mixed signal of the Multi-channel signal is not played
back.) (SCD-XA333ES only)
About the ANALOG 2CH OUT (SCD-
XA777ES only)
When you play a conventional CD or a 2CH Super Audio CD, the
stereo signal is sent to the FRONT, SURROUND, and CENTER/
SUB WOOFER D/A Converters, and each signal is combined
after D/A conversion, then combined signal is output from the
2CH OUT jacks.
Since each digital signal is converted to analog signal by three
converters, this system offers a three-fold improvement in a
signal quality and a root three-fold in noise ratio, and results in
improvement in a signal to noise ratio. Therefore, the high
quality signal is output from the ANALOG 2CH OUT jacks.
However, because of the system, no signal is output from the
ANALOG 2CH OUT jacks during playback of a Multi-channel
Super Audio CD. Similarly, no signal is output from the PHONES
jack during playback of a Multi-channel Super Audio CD.
This illustration is for SCD-XA777ES. For SCD-
XA333ES, connect the same jacks of SCD-
XA777ES (see page 10).
