AUDIO OUT Jacks: jacks located on the back of the DVD Player which are
used to send audio to another system (TV, decoder, or amplifier).
CD: Compact Disc (audio)
Coaxial jack: Used to send digital audio to a decoder or amplifier, allowing you
to adjust the volume at the decoder or amplifier. This connection provides the 5.1
channel surround sound as heard in movie theaters.
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system that provides 5.1 channel sound as used
in movie theaters.
DTS: Digital Theater Systems. This is a surround sound system, but it is different
from Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by different companies.
DVD: Digital Video Disc.
OPTICAL Jack: Converts electrical signals into optical signals before sending the
audio to the amplifier. Optical audio is not prone to external electrical influences
and has less noise, which reduces adverse effects on external equipment. Be sure to
keep the protective cap on the jack when the jack is not being used. This keeps
dust out of the jack.
Remote Control: the small unit that came with your DVD Player; allows you to
operate your DVD Player from a distance.
S-Video: Produces a clearer picture by sending separate signals for the luminance
and the color. If you connect an optional S-Video cable, you will not need to use
the supplied yellow video cable.
VIDEO OUT Jack: jack located on the back of the DVD Player which is used to
send video to a TV.
