Common Connection Methods Connecting to an A/V Receiver via HDMI If you have an HDMI-capable receiver that supports 4K HDR video pass-through, you can simply run an HDMI cable from the player’s HDMI OUT (Main) output into your receiver and enable HDMI video pass-through on the receiver (see your receiver’s owner’s manual for more information). The receiver usually has an HDMI output that you can connect to your TV to pass the video signal. Some receivers contain a mixture of HDMI 2.0 and HDMI 1.
C O M M O N C O N N E C T I O N M E T H O D S Connecting to a TV via HDMI Use an HDMI cable to connect the player’s HDMI OUT (Main) output directly into your TV. This connection method delivers both audio and video in a pure digital format via a single cable. In order to play 4K UHD content, you must connect the UDP-203’s HDMI OUT (Main) output into an HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compliant input of the 4K UHD TV. NOTE This connection method will output sound via the TV’s speakers.
C O M M O N C O N N E C T I O N M E T H O D S Connecting to a TV and A/V Receiver via Dual HDMI The UDP-203’s Dual HDMI connection mode ensures that you can enjoy the highest possible video quality and resolution, in addition to high bit rate audio content. Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI OUT (Main) output to your TV, and another HDMI cable to connect the HDMI OUT (Audio Only) output to your receiver.
C O M M O N C O N N E C T I O N M E T H O D S Connecting to an A/V Receiver or Amplifier via Analog Outputs The UDP-203 is equipped with a 7.1ch analog audio output that can be connected to the 7.1ch analog input section of an A/V receiver or amplifier for audio output. This method is required if the A/V receiver does not have HDMI inputs. It is also a preferred connection method for taking advantage of the UDP-203’s advanced digital-to-analog converter (DAC).
C O M M O N C O N N E C T I O N M E T H O D S Connecting to an A/V Receiver or Amplifier via S/PDIF (Coaxial / Optical) Please use either a 75-Ohm coaxial digital audio cable with RCA-style connectors or an S/PDIF optical digital audio cable to connect one of the digital audio outputs to the corresponding input terminal on your A/V receiver. For detailed setup of coaxial/optical signals, refer to page 57.
C O M M O N C O N N E C T I O N M E T H O D S HDMI INPUT to UDP-203 The HDMI IN port on the rear of the player allows for the connection of native 4K content from external sources such as a streaming set-top box, cable/satellite boxes, game consoles, computers and even other Blu-ray and UHD players. The incoming signal is processed by the player and output to your connected devices, allowing you to take advantage of the player's builtin audio and video processing capabilities.
C O M M O N C O N N E C T I O N M E T H O D S Connecting to the Internet The UDP-203 can play audio, video and photos via your home network. This feature supports DLNA, SMB/CIFS and NFS protocols.
