External Decoder Connections

If you’re a true audiophile, you’re probably famil-

iar with DVD-Audio and SACD, multi-channel audio

formats that require their own decoding and unique

connection methods. Follow these steps to connect

a DVD, DVD-A, or SACD player with up to 7.1-channel

analog outputs.

Connecting a DVD-A/SACD Player

1 Using eight RCA cables, connect the 7.1 channel

analog audio outputs from your DVD player to the

corresponding Ext 7.1 inputs on the GTP-870HD.

2 If your DVD player has 5.1-channel analog out-

puts, use six RCA cables and omit the RB and LB

connections.

Ext. 7.1

Inputs

Tip

The External 7.1 inputs

bypass the internal

Analog to Digital

Converter.

As a result, they can also

be used as a “high-end”

analog 2-channel input

for those who desire a

‘direct’ analog input.
