CONNECTIONS
The following show examples of connections commonly used to connect the DVD player to TV and other
components.
If using this DVD player to playback a DVD in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround or DTS surround format, the
DVD player outputs a Dolby Digital or DTS data stream from its OPTICAL or COAXIAL DIGITAL OUT jacks.
By hooking the player up to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy more convincing, realistic ambience
with powerful and high-quality surround sound of a professional standard which can be heard in movie theaters.
Use a commercially available audio optical or coaxial digital cable (not included) for the audio connections.
NOTES:
Be sure to turn off the power to all components in the system before connecting another component.

Refer to the Instruction Manuals for your TV, stereo system and any other components to be connected to the

DVD player.
Connection to an audio system
Method 1
Audio Input Jacks
AUDIO
Analog Audio Out
DVD
• Method 1 DVD Player + Stereo system
• Method 2 DVD Player + AV amplifier with a built in decoder (AV control center), Dolby Digital decoder, DTS decoder,
MD deck or DAT deck
NOTES (for Method 2 only):
• When using an AV amplifier with a built in decoder (AV control center), Dolby Digital, or DTS decoder as shown in the
Method 2, set "DOLBY DIGITAL" or "DTS" to "ON" accordingly for audio output in the setup mode (refer to page 24). Set it to
"OFF" for the decoder that is not used currently. Playing a DVD using incorrect settings may generate noise distortion, and
may also damage the speakers.
• The audio source on a disc in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD
deck or DAT deck.
• Set "DOLBY DIGITAL" or "DTS" to "OFF" for audio output in the setup mode for connecting to an MD deck or DAT deck (refer to
page 24).
• Harsh noise that could harm your ears or the speakers is generated when a DVD recorded in DTS is played while using a
decoder, etc., that is not DTS-compatible.
• When playing a copyright-protected 96 kHz linear PCM DVD, the digital sound will be down sampled at 48 kHz, even if you set
"LPCM SELECT" to "OFF".
Optical cable (not supplied)
• Optical cable (not supplied) may be damaged when bent at sharp angles. Ensure cables are coiled in loops with a diame-
ter of 15 cm or more when storing them.
• Use a cable which is 3m or shorter.
• Insert cable plugs firmly into the connectors when making connections.
• If a plug has minor scratches or is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth before inserting it into a connector.
