Connecting Up
• SCART cables are available in several
configurations. Make sure that the one
you get will work with this player and
your TV/monitor. You can find the pin
assignments on page 85.
Connecting using the component
video output
You can use the component video output
instead of the standard video out jack to
connect this player to your TV (or other
equipment).

Connecting for multichannel
surround sound
To enjoy multichannel surround sound from
DVD-Video, DVD-Audio and SACD discs, we
recommend connecting this player to an AV
receiver using the 5.1 channel analog
outputs or i.LINK connector.
The player also has optical and coaxial digital
outputs should you want to use an external
decoder or the decoder in your AV receiver.
Note that multichannel DVD-Audio and
SACD 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 pages 66 and 67).
