Method 9 – Stereo Analog Audio Connection by Balanced cables
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
Balanced audio connectors are used mostly in professional audio electronics, such as high
quality microphones and inter-equipment connections.
BDP-95AU 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.
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.
