Connection To An Audio System - Denon DVD-1400 Operating Instructions Manual

CONNECTIONS
The following show examples of connections commonly used to connect the DVD player to a TV and other
components.
If using this DVD player to play back a DVD in the 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround or DTS surround format,
the DVD player outputs a Dolby Digital or DTS data stream from its OPTICAL or COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO
OUT jacks. 5.1 channel Dolby Digital Surround sound and DTS sound can also be output from the 5.1 CH
OUTPUT jacks. By connecting the player to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy a more convincing,
realistic ambience with powerful and high-quality surround sound of a professional standard, similar to that
experienced cinemas. Use a coaxial or optical digital audio cable (not included) for the audio connections. Use
audio cables (commercially available) for the 5.1 CH audio connection.
Notes
¡Be sure to switch 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.
