Connecting to an AV Receiver
Step 1: Audio Connection
You can connect the DVD player to your AV receiver using the multichannel analog audio output or one of the digital audio outputs. In addition, you should also connect a 2-channel analog audio output for compatibility all certain discs.
Step 2: Video Connection (See pages 20–21)
You may also want to connect the DVD player’s video output to your AV receiver and connect the AV receiver’s video output to a video input on your TV.
You can use any of the DVD player’s video outputs.
Typically, you must use the same type of video cable to connect your DVD player to your AV receiver as you do to connect your AV receiver to your TV.
Before Connecting
• Before making any connections, turn off the DVD player and AV receiver, and disconnect them from the wall outlets. Failure to do so may result in speaker damage.
Connection Hints
• To enjoy Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound, you must connect the DVD player to your AV receiver by using an optical or coaxial digital audio cable or
HDMI cable. See page 24 for HDMI connection infor-
mation.
• To record the audio from a CD-R disc to a cassette deck or CDR recorder that’s connected to the AV receiver, or if you want to use your AV receiver’s
Zone 2 function, you must connect the DVD player’s stereo analog audio output to your AV receiver.
• If your AV receiver has an analog multichannel input, we recommend that you connect it to the DVD player’s multichannel analog output. This will ensure that you can enjoy all types of discs, including Dolby
Digital and DTS DVD-Video discs, and DVD-Audio and SACD discs containing multichannel audio at higher sampling rates.
Connecting the Analog Output
Connect the FRONT/D.MIX 1 or 2 AUDIO OUTPUT jacks on this player to a set of analog audio inputs on your AV receiver with the supplied AV cable (RCA).
The FRONT/D.MIX 1 and 2 jacks output the same signals, so use either pair.

Connecting your HDTV or AV receiver with an HDMI Input
This section shows how to connect the DVD player to a
AV receiver, HDTV, or projector that has an HDMI input socket.
What is HDMI?
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new connection format that can carry uncompressed, standard or high definition digital video and digital audio.
Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components together. With
HDMI, a single cable is all that’s necessary to achieve the best picture and audio quality.
HDMI video is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual
Interface). To send HDMI video to a DVI input requires an HDMI-to-DVI cable. The DVD player supports
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), and for an HDMI-to-DVI connection to work, the other component must also support it. Note that this may not work with some DVI components.
Using HDMI
Use the HDMI cable (not supplied) to connect the DVD player’s HDMI OUT to an HDMI input on your AV receiver. Alternatively, you can connect the DVD player directly to the HDMI input on your TV.

Notes:
• The DVD player supports HDCP (High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection), a protection system for digital video. HDMI components that you connect to the DVD player must also support HDCP.
• The DVD player supports High-Definition Multimedia Interface Specification Information Version 1.0.
HDMI & the DVD player
■
Video
The DVD player’s HDMI OUT supports the following video resolutions:
• 720 x 480p (progressive), 60 Hz
• 720 x 576p (progressive), 50 Hz (not North American and Korean models)
• 1280 x 720p (progressive), 50/60 Hz
• 1920 x 1080i (interlaced ), 50/60 Hz
If the connected HDTV or projector doesn’t support a resolution, you may get no picture.
On the DVD player, you can select a resolution suitable for use with the connected HDTV or projector (see
■ Audio Formats
The DVD player’s HDMI OUT supports the following audio formats:
• PCM (96 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz)
• Dolby Digital
• DTS
If your HDMI-compatible TV or projector doesn’t support Dolby Digital and DTS, the HDMI OUT will not output digital audio in that format. In this case, set the
Digital/HDMI Audio Out setting to PCM (see page 48).
If your TV doesn’t support digital audio at high sampling rates, set the Linear PCM Out setting to Down Sample
On, so that it’s down sampled to below 48 kHz (see
Note that audio from SACD discs is not output by the
HDMI OUT. For this format, you need to use the analog
multichannel output (see page 23).

Glossary
Analog audio
An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Compare this to digital audio which can be an electrical signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also
“Digital audio.”
Aspect ratio
The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as it is high).
Digital audio
An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals
(44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-todigital converter, generating a stream of numbers.
On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an analog signal based on these numbers. See also “Sampling frequency” and “Analog audio.”
DivX
*1
DivX is a media technology created by DivX,
Inc. DivX media files contain compressed video. DivX files can also include advanced media features like menus, subtitles, and alternate audio tracks.
Dolby Digital
*2
Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio, this high quality surround system is used in many of the finer movie theaters around the world.
The on-screen display shows which channels are active, for example showing 3/2.1. The 3 being the two front channels and the center channel; the 2 being the surround channels, and the .1 being the LFE channel.
DRM
DRM (digital rights management) is a type of server software developed to enable secure distribution of paid content over the web, recently incorporated by WMA
(Windows Media Audio).
DTS
*3
DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is a surround system different from Dolby Digital that has become a popular surround sound format for movies.
Dynamic range
The difference between the quietest and loudest sounds possible in an audio signal (without distorting or getting lost in noise).
Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are capable of a very wide dynamic range, delivering dramatic cinema-like effects.
File extension
A tag added to the end of a filename to indicate the type of file. For example, “.mp3” indicates an MP3 file.
HD
Abbreviation for high definition, as in HDTV (high-definition TV).
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)
The video encryption technology developed by Intel for
HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.

Glossary —Continued
HDMI
*1
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a highspeed digital interface which has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-definition video plus standard to multichannel surround-sound audio on a single digital connection. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 5 gigabytes per second and communication between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.
ISO 9660 format
International standard for the volume and file structure of CD-ROM discs.
JPEG
A file format used for still images, such as photographs and illustrations. JPEG files are identified by the file extension “.jpg” or “.JPG”. Most digital cameras use this format.
MP3
MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed audio file format. Files are recognized by their file extension
“.mp3” or “.MP3”.
MPEG video
The video format used for Video CDs and DVDs. Video
CD uses the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses the newer and much better quality MPEG-2 standard.
PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only)
A system of navigating a Video CD through on-screen menus recorded onto the disc. Especially good for discs that you would normally not watch from beginning to end all at once—karaoke discs, for example.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
The most common system of encoding digital audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital.
For compatibility with digital audio recorders (CD, MD, and DAT) and AV amplifiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital, and DTS to PCM. See also
“Digital audio.”
Progressive scan video
All the lines that make up a video picture are updated in one pass (compared to interlace which takes two passes to update the whole picture).
Regions (DVD-Video only)
These associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or all regions).
Sampling frequency
The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into digital audio data. The higher the rate, the better the sound quality, but the more digital information is generated. Standard CD audio has a sampling frequency of
44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples (measurements) per second. See also “Digital audio.”
WMA
WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and refers to an audio compression technology developed by
Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by using Windows Media Player version 8.
