Separate analogue stereo (751BD only)

The analogue stereo outputs should be used for play back of CDs, DVDs

etc in stereo through a conventional ampliﬁer or AV receiver with analogue

stereo inputs.

Analogue stereo is also usually the best connection method for listening

to CDs and other stereo discs for best possible sound quality. It is often

a good idea to connect both the analogue stereo outputs (for CD

playback) and digital audio outputs or HDMI (for surround sound

decoding) at the same time.

To connect an analogue stereo system to the 751BD, use stereo phono

cables (stereo 2RCA-2RCA).

Digital audio

The digital audio outputs should be used to decode the surround-sound

soundtracks of BD/DVDs with an external AV Receiver (Note: Digital output

must be set to

"RAW" in the Audio setup page). The 651/751BD sends an

undecoded audio bitstream to the AV Receiver for decoding into 5.1/7.1 etc.

Note: The latest HD audio types, SACD and DVD-A cannot

be output over

SPDIF/TOSlink and an HDMI connection must be used for these.

Either a 75ohm co-axial cable designed for digital audio or a TOSlink ﬁbre

optic cable should be used (only one at a time).

It is also possible to output stereo digital audio from the Digital

Outputs for recording on conventional CD-R/MD etc. machines, see

section on 651/751BD setup.

Audio connections

Do not plug in the mains power lead or turn the unit on until all

connections have been made.

Three types (two for 651BD) of audio only connection can be made

between the 751BD and your stereo/AV system:

5.1/7.1 analogue

inputs

The 651/751BD is also capable of decoding Surround-Sound

soundtracks itself and outputting these as analogue Stereo, 5.1 or 7.1

depending on the settings in the Speaker setup page in the 651/751BD

setup menu.

For 5.1, connect to an AV receiver or ampliﬁed speaker system, use 6 x

phono/RCA cables.

For 7.1, connect to an AV receiver or ampliﬁed speaker system, use 8 x

phono/RCA cables.

Note: It is also possible to make an HDMI audio/video connection which

carries both audio and video in the same cable. See later section.

However, when making an HDMI connection i.e. to an AV receiver, it is

also often preferable to make an additional audio connection for CD

and/or SACD/DVD-A playback.
