If the AC plug of this unit does not match the AC outlet you want to use, the plug must be removed and appropriate one fitted. Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified service personnel. If connected to an AC outlet, the cut-off plug can cause severe electrical shock. Make sure it is properly disposed of after removal.
The equipment should be disconnected by removing the mains plug from the wall socket when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation).
CAUTION
The STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not completely shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the unit has been installed so that the power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation).

Tip
•You usually have to connect the same kind of video cable between your DVD player and AV receiver, and between your AV receiver and TV.
En
Connecting 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.
• Connect the multi-channel audio outputs on this player to the multi-channel audio inputs on your AV receiver.
It’s convenient to use three stereo audio cables; one for the FRONT, one for the SURROUND and one for the CENTER and
SUBWOOFER channels.

Connecting the digital output |
02 |
This player has both optical and coaxial-type digital audio outputs for connection to an AV receiver. Connect whichever is convenient.
Depending on the capabilities of your AV receiver, you might have to set up this player to output only digital audio in a compatible format. See Digital Audio Out settings on page 38 and refer to the operating instructions that came with your AV receiver.
Note that 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.
• Connect one of the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks on this player to a digital input on your AV receiver.

Note
•This unit has been designed to be compliant with HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface). Depending on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers.
•When you change the component connected to the HDMI output, you will also need to change the HDMI settings to match the new component (see HDMI Out on page 38, HDMI Resolution on page 39 and HDMI Color on page 39 to do this). However, the settings for each component are then stored in memory (for up to 2 components).
•The HDMI connection is compatible with 2 channel linear PCM signals (44.1 kHz to 192 kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit), and Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG audio bitstream, multi channel DSD, and multi channel linear PCM signals, (5.1 channel signals up to 96 kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit).

About HDMI |
02 |
|
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital connection for use with DVD players, DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI was developed to provide the technologies of High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one specification. HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted and received by DVI-compliant displays.
HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to five gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals), one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and communication between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.
•HDMI, the HDMI Logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC.
