Audio/(Video) receiver with 6 connectors
General notes
- Depending on your amplifier/receiver/Stereo System,
there are various ways to connect the player. These are
explained in the section below.
This SACD player contains a multi-channel decoder. This
enables playback of SACDs recorded in Multi-channel.
You only need to select Multi-channel using the Sound
Mode key.
- For some connections, settings for digital and/or
analogue output are required. These settings have to be
made in the ‘Personal Preferences’ menu which is only
accessible via your TV screen. In these cases you will
need to connect the player to the TV as well.
- Please refer to your amplifier/receiver/Stereo System,
TV and any other User Manual(s) as necessary to make
the optimal connections.

The digital output of the SACD1000 does not provide
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) signals. If your
amplifer/receiver can only decode PCM and not multi-
channel signals such as Dolby Digital, do not connect
your SACD player using the digital input. This could
damage your amplifier and/or speakers.
Notes:
- If the audio format of the digital output does not match the
capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will produce a
strong, distorted sound. The audio format of the DVD disc in
play is displayed in the Status Window when changing the
audio format.
- 6 Channel Digital Surround Sound via digital connection can
only be obtained if your receiver is equipped with a Digital
Multi-channel decoder. If your receiver does not contain a
decoder, you can make the analogue connections as
described in the section‘Connecting to a Multi-channel
Audio/(Video) receiver with 6 connectors’ to obtain 6 Channel
Digital Surround Sound.
- SACD Multi-channel sound cannot be obtained via digital
connection.

Delay times - DVD only
Connecting the power supply
Your SACD player is set to correctly reproduce
synchronized Digital Surround Sound in a listening area
where the surround speakers are about 150cm nearer
to the listening position than the front speakers and the
center speaker is in line with the front speakers. To
adjust for other listening-area arrangements, adapt delay
times according to the following:
1
Check if the power voltage as shown on the type
plate (on the back of the player) corresponds to
your local power voltage. If not, adjust the voltage
selector (1) to match with your local power supply.
Plug the female end of the power cable supplied into
the Power connector POWER SUPPLY (2) on the
rear of the player.
2
3
Plug the male end of the cord into an AC outlet.
Digital Surround
Note: When the player is in the STANDBY or OFF position, it
will still consume some power. If you wish to disconnect your
player completely from the power supply, pull the plug from
the AC Outlet.
Measure the distances in centimeters from the front
speaker plane and from the surround speaker plane to
the listening positioning plane.
Substract the surround distance from the front distance
and divide by 30. The result is the required Surround
Channel delay time in milliseconds.
Caution: Only qualified service personnel should
remove the cover or attempt to service this
device.
If the center speaker is on the front speaker plane, no
center speaker delay is needed. You can adjust the delay
time in the “User Preference Settings”. See Personal
preferences - Sound - Speaker Settings. If, however, it is
nearer to the listening position, measure the distance in
centimeters between the front and center speaker
planes and divide by 30. The result is the required
Center Channel delay time in milliseconds.

System grounding
Enhanced use
Filter switch
When your system consists of a lot of components,
occasional disturbance problems (like howling noises)
may occur. These problems can be solved by grounding
the system.
Not all amplifiers/receivers and speakers can handle the
extended frequency response of SACD. Your SACD is
equipped with a switchable filter on the rear. The
factory setting for this filter is 40 KHz, which is safe for
all systems. If your system can handle the full frequency
range of SACD (check the relevant manuals or, when in
doubt, contact your dealer) do the following:
1
Unscrew the ground connector GND halfway,
connect an earth wire to the connector and tighten
the connector again.

Connect the earth wire to the ground connector of
the next component in the system.
If ground connectors are available on the other
components of your system, ground the other
components in the same way.
Set the switch to the required output signal.
Position 1 : 40 kHz - output signal on all speakers is set
to 40 kHz.
Position 2 : 50 kHz FRONT/50 kHz OTHERS - output
signal on front speakers is set to 50 kHz;
output signal on all other speakers is set to
40 kHz.
Position 3 : 50 kHz - output signal on all speakers is set
to 50 kHz.
Warning: If you are not sure that your system is
able to handle audio input signals up to 50 KHz,
do not change the output signal. You may
damage your speakers or amplifier/receiver.
