Other Audio Playback Options
You can enjoy high-quality surround audio playback by connecting the DPC-5.1 to an amplifier
equipped with a Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic Surround, or DTS decoder. Furthermore you can transfer
the signal of audio CDs to your amplifier in the digital domain if it is fitted with a digital input.
See pages 10 and 11 for the video hookup of the DPC-5.1 to your TV set.
When using an optical digital cable, remove the cap from the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL connector and firmly fit the
cable's jack into the connector. When not using this connector, keep it capped to protect it from dust intrusion.
Notes:
•Before connecting the DVD Changer to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all components
from the wall outlet.
•This DVD Changer outputs a very dynamic audio signal. Be sure to set the amplifier's volume to a moderate listening
level to avoid damaging your speakers due to sudden volume surges.
•Switch off the amplifier or select another input source before connecting or disconnecting the DVD Changer's power
cable. If you leave the amplifier power on, the speakers may be damaged.

Playback of Dolby Digital-encoded discs requires that you establish
a digital connection with the amplifier. The selection of the DPC-
5.1's DIGITAL OUTPUT depends on the type of digital input provided
on your amplifier. Use either the DIGITAL OUTPUT COAXIAL or
OPTICAL connector. See the amplifier's manual for details.
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a surround sound technology used in movie theaters
that is now also available on equipment for a home environment.
You can play back motion picture and live-concert DVD video
discs of this sound format by connecting the DVD Changer to a 6-
channel amplifier equipped with a Dolby Digital decoder or Dolby
Digital processor. If your amplifier (or separate decoder) supports
Dolby Pro Logic Surround, you can even play back Dolby Pro Logic-
encoded DVD movies with full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital
soundtracks, as well as titles with the Dolby Surround mark.
•This functionality is only available when using DVD video discs with
Dolby Digital encoding.
•Make the following settings:
Setting
Audio Out Select
Recording system
•Select the Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode on your
amplifier.
Your DPC-5.1 also supports Dolby Pro Logic Surround. This effect can be
obtained in one of two ways: via a digital or an analog connection
with an amplifier that supports Dolby Pro Logic Surround (see below).
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
Playback of Dolby Pro Logic Surround-encoded DVD video discs re-
quires that you connect the DPC-5.1 to an amplifier with right and left
front speakers, a center speaker, and one or two surround speakers.
Feel free to use one or two surround speakers. Be aware, though, that
the output sound of the rear channel will be monaural even if you
connect two surround speakers.
•If your amplifier is fitted with a digital input:
See the connection for Dolby Digital playback above and make
the suggested settings. See also the amplifier's manual for how to
select its Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode.
•If your amplifier has no digital input:
Connect the DPC-5.1's ANALOG OUTPUTs as shown in the
illustration to the left, and make the following setting:
Setting
Audio Out Select
•Select the Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode on your amplifier.
Note:
•Do not forget to select the DVD Changer's AUDIO OUTPUTs
("Analog 2ch"). See "Audio Settings" on page 36 for details.
