MOON Stellar DVD Player
Audio Connections
You can use either the analog audio outputs, the digital audio outputs, or both depending on your
system requirements. If you are using a digital surround processor, it is strongly recommended that
you to use a digital audio connection. If you want to use your Moon Stellar
DVD player with an
analog stereo preamplifier, you must use an analog audio output connection. If you are not sure, ask
your dealer for recommendations about your specific setup. Whatever the type of connection(s) you
choose, don’t hesitate to use high quality cables. Poor quality cables can degrade the overall sonic
performance of your system.
F) Digital Audio Output (Electrical)
This output is on BNC type connector. You can use a 75Ωdigital audio cable with BNC connectors. In
the event that these aren’t available, you can also use a digital audio cable terminated with RCA
connectors and RCA-to-BNC adaptors. It is better to use a BNC-to-BNC connection, but it should not be
of a concern if you need to use adaptors.
G) Digital Audio Output (Optical)
This output is on a Toslink RC-5720 (EIAJ Standard) type connector, requiring a Toslink fiber optic
digital audio cable. Use this type of connection only if the component you’re attempting to connect to
the Stellar doesn’t support the ‘Electrical Digital Audio Output’ (BNC type connector) previously
described. The electrical digital output provides for significantly better quality than the optical output.
H) Balanced Analog Audio Output
This output is on XLR connectors, so you must have a pair of balanced audio cables with XLR
terminations. This connection is preferable to single-ended RCA, especially when using a long cable run
(i.e. more than 2 meters in length).
I) Single-Ended Analog Audio Output
This output is on RCA connectors, so you must have a pair of regular single-ended audio cables with
RCA terminations.
J) SCART Audio/Video Connection (or Peritel Connection)
This output on a 21-pin SCART connector provides for both RGB and composite video connections, as
well as an analog 2-channel (stereo) audio connection in a single SCART cable.
