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.
Notes:
• To switch to External 7.1
mode, press the Ext 7.1 button
on the remote control or front
panel.
• For Ext 7.1 operations, see
page 56.

Tip
The External 7.1 inputs
bypass the internal
Analog to Digital
Conv
erter.
As a result
, they can also
be used as a “high-end”
analog 2-channel input
for those who desire a
‘d
irect’ analog input.
