Advanced Audio Connection Information

Both Dolby Digital® and DTS® are audio formats used to record 5.1-channel audio signals onto the digital track of fi lm (while the fi lm is being made). Both of these formats
provide up to six separate channels: left, right, center, left rear, right rear, and common subwoofer. The disc will play 5.1-channel sound only if you've connected a DTS or
Dolby Digital receiver or decoder, and if the disc is encoded in the Dolby Digital or DTS format.
Please Read This Before Using the DIGITAL AUDIO Jack!
This unit's digital audio output jack is designed for a connection to a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver or decoder. Older digital equipment may not be compatible with
the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a connection can create a high level of noise that may be harmful to your ears, and could damage headphones or speakers. It is
important to choose the correct Digital Output setting in the System Options menu. For more information, go to page 51.
Additionally, the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connection is for DVD playback only. Make sure you connect audio cables (white and red) for VCR playback.
Connecting your DVD/VCR to an audio/video receiver
You'll need to consult instructions that came with your audio video receiver in order to connect it properly. The information below provides general
guidelines for the DVD/VCR's Audio Output Jacks.
For a basic connection, connect the left and right audio cables to your audio/video receiver and to the OUTPUT AUDIO L (left – white) and R (right – red) jacks on the
back of your DVD/VCR.
If you have a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver, connect an optical cable (SPDIF) to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack on the DVD/VCR and the Digital Audio Input jack on the
receiver (cables not supplied with DVD/VCR). You must also adjust the Digital Output setting (go to page 51 for information).
Note: Remove the protective cover that's in the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT OPTICAL jack before connecting the cable.
