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 23). You can also manually set the output in the
[Audio Out] setting of the Setup screen Audio 2 menu
(page 32).
Notes
• When [5.1 Channel] is selected, the front right (R) and left
(L) audio channels are output from the AUDIO OUT (2 CH)
jacks.
• 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) 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
select [2 Channel] in the Setup Navigator [Analog
Jacks] screen (page 23).
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 and DTS 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
select [5.1 Channel] in the Setup Navigator [Analog
Jacks] screen (page 23).
