a suitable input on the receiver using a digital audio cable.
In this case, do not use the player’s audio Left and Right
outputs.
3 You will need to activate the digital output of the player
(See Settings p. 22).
4 The audio format of the digital output is dependent on the
audio format of the selected audio channel. Make sure that
the selected audio channel matches the capabilities of the
receiver connected to the digital output.
