They should look the same as the output jacks on the Sony DVP-S9000ES SACD/DVD Player. Connect the other end of the white cord into a jack for Left Audio Input.
5. Insert the other end of the red plug into the Right Audio Input on the receiver. Make sure it is in the same set of jacks as the white plug.

7. Plug one end of the coaxial cable into the Sony DVP-S9000ES SACD/DVD Player. Use the jack under Digital Out that is labeled Coaxial.

10. Connect one end of the optical connecting cable to the Sony DVP-S9000ES SACD/DVD Player. Plug it into the Optical jack.
11. Connect the other end of the optical connecting cable to the receiver. Plug it into the Digital In jack for Optical on the receiver.

Set Up Your Audio
