Playback using the DENON Link connector
Digital transfer and multi-channel playback of DVD audio discs and other multi-channel sources is possible by connecting the AVR-5803 to a
Denon DVD player equipped with a Denon Link connector using the connection cable included with the DVD player.
With discs on which special copyright protection measures have been taken, however, the digital signals may not be output from the DVD
player. In this case, connect the DVD player's analog multi=channel output to the AVR-5803's EXTIN_I or EXTIN=2 terminals for playback
Also refer to your DVD player's operating instructions.
