You can also connect the BALANCED STEREO AUDIO OUT to your stereo audio system.
Three-pin (XLR3) cables are needed, and the XLR terminals on the player are male type.
NOTE
x Balanced audio connectors are used mostly in professional audio electronics, such as high
quality microphones and inter-equipment connections. BDP-95 utilizes the 3-pin XLR
connector (shown below), which transmits a pair of differential signals (positive /negative).
The amplifier extracts the voltage difference between differential signals, thus the common
noise can be rejected and the signal integrity is improved.
x
In some audio systems the positions of "hot" (positive) and "cold" (negative) pins are
switched. In this case please set “ XLR Terminal Polarity ” to “ Inversion ” in the Audio
Processing of Setup Menu.
