Note: DVD Audio discs sometimes vary in the way they are created — sampling can be different from one
disc to the next. To enjoy maximum sound quality and surround effect of DVD Audio, use 5.1 channel
analog audio output (5.1CH AUDIO OUT jacks on the back of the DVD Player).
If you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) for your audio connection, the sound will only be similar
to CD-quality sound even though you're playing a DVD Audio disc.

Audio Jacks and Cables
AUDIO L (left) and R (right)
These jacks send the audio from the disc you're playing to the TV.The audio jacks
and cables are often color-coded (red for right audio, and white for left audio).You
must connect audio cables to the AUDIO L and R jacks on the DVD Player and
the corresponding Audio Input Jacks on the TV no matter which Video jack you
connect (VIDEO; S-VIDEO; or Y, Pb, Pr).
If your component has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white
L/Mono) audio jack on the TV and don't connect the right audio part of the cable.
5.1CH AUDIO OUT jacks only will give you true DVD audio sound quality when playing
DVD audio discs.
DIGITAL OUT/OPTICAL and DIGITAL OUT/COAXIAL
Use one of these jacks to connect your DVD Player to a Dolby* Digital or DTS
receiver or decoder. Some receivers have either the COAXIAL or OPTICAL type
of Digital Audio Input jack, and some have both. Under most conditions, optical
and coaxial connections work equally well — the only difference is the type of
cable you connect to the jack.
If you want to use a less expensive cable, connect a coaxial cable to the COAXIAL
jack if your receiver has a Coaxial Input Jack. Rarely, but sometimes, coaxial digital
cables — especially long ones, pick up radio frequency (RF) interference from
household appliances, nearby power lines, and/or broadcast towers. If that is the
case, connect an optical cable (sometimes called SPDIF) to the DIGITAL
OUT/OPTICAL jack on the DVD Player and a compatible Digital Input Optical
Jack on the receiver.
5.1CH AUDIO OUT
Use these audio jacks to connect your DVD Player to a home theatre
system. Each one of the 5.1 Channel Audio Out jacks maintains the audio on the
same track as produced when using this audio technology (FRONT L and R; SUR-
ROUND L and R; SUB (subwoofer); and CENTER).
