Rear Panel Features:

1.) Digital outputs - Optical and Coaxial digital audio outputs, normally used to connect to a suitable Audio/Video Receiver for surround sound decoding .

2.) Analogue video outputs

• Component - Connect to the YCbCr or YPbPr terminals of a television set via three 75 ohm RCA/phono cables designed specifically for video use.
• Composite - Connect to your television via 75 ohm RCA/phono cable designed specifically for video use.
• S-Video - Connect to your television via dedicated S-Video cable

3.) HDMI Out - HDMI (High-Definition Multi-Media Interface) is a purely digital connection that can carry both audio and video. Use a dedicated HDMI cable to connect to a TV/Monitor or AV Receiver with a compatible HDMI input.

4.) IR (Infra-Red) Emitter In - Allows modulated IR commands from multi-room systems or IR repeater systems to be received by the unit.

5.) Ethernet LAN port - Used for discs supporting BD-Live that provide interactive features when the player is connected to the Internet.

6.) USB port - Port for interfacing to a flash/memory card or "Mass Storage Device".

7.) 7.1 channel analogue audio output - If Down-mix is set to "7.1 CH" in the Speaker Setup page (Down-mix mode section) of the 650BD’s Setup menus, these sockets provide 7.1 output from the 650BD's built in Surround-Sound decoder.

8.) AC power socket - Once you have made all audio and video connections, plug the IEC type AC power cable into the rear of the unit and an appropriate mains socket then switch on. Your 650BD is now ready for use

Audio Connections:

1.) Analogue stereo - 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.

2.) Digital audio - The digital audio outputs should be used to decode the surround-sound soundtracks of DVDs with an external AV Receiver (Note: Digital output must be set to "RAW" in the Audio setup page). The 650BD sends an undecoded audio bitstream to the AV Receiver for decoding into 5.1/7.1 etc.

3.) Analogue 5.1/7.1 - The 650BD is also capable of decoding Surround-Sound soundtracks itself and outputting these as analogue 5.1/7.1 depending on the settings in the Speaker setup page in the 650BD 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.

Analogue Video Connections:

The 650BD can output video in both fully digital (HDMI) and analogue (Composite, S-Video and Component) formats. If your TV set supports HDMI then this is the preferred format (see next section). If your TV set supports only analogue video the preferred connection is (in declining order of quality) Component, then S-Video and finally Composite.

HDMI Connections:

HDMI (High-Definition Multi-Media Interface) is a digital connection that can carry both audio and video in one cable. Direct digital transfer of video and support for various types of high definition video content make this the best connection type for picture quality
