Connecting to an A/V Receiver or Amplifier via Analog Outputs
If the BDT-101CI is equipped with a 7.1ch analog audio output module, it is possible to connect the
player to the 7.1ch analog input port 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 advanced digital-to-analog converter (DAC) in the BDT-101CI’s analog audio
output module.
Please use up to 8 RCA-style audio interconnect cables to connect the FL (Front Left), FR (Front
Right), SL (Surround Left), SR (Surround Right), C (Center), SW (SubWoofer), SBL (Surround Back
Left) and SBR (Surround Back Right) analog output terminals of the BDT-101CI to the corresponding
multi-channel analog audio input jacks of your A/V receiver or amplifier.
If the A/V receiver or amplifier only has 5.1ch audio inputs, you can omit the SBL (Surround Back Left)
and SBR (Surround Back Right) outputs. In the
Setup Menu
, set the
Down Mix Mode
to
5.1ch
in the
Speaker Configuration
section (refer to
Down Mix Mode
on page 49).
If your audio system offers only stereo audio inputs, or if you would like to connect a dedicated stereo
audio system in addition to the surround audio system which is already connected to the HDMI or
S/PDIF outputs, you can connect the dedicated stereo audio system to the FL (Front Left) and FR
(Front Right) outputs of the player. In the
Setup Menu
, set the
Down Mix Mode
to
Stereo
in the
Speaker Configuration
section (refer to
Down Mix Mode
on page 49).
