1. Connecting MIXED AUDIO OUTs 1
Connect these jacks to the DVD (, AUX, etc.) IN jacks of your
amplifier or receiver.
Notes :
While playing back a disc containing multi-channel signal
format such as DTS, Dolby Digital and MPEG Multichannel
with this connection, the 5 discrete channels (front L, center,
front R, rear L and rear R) are mixed down to these front
and headphone channels.
If the MIXED AUDIO OUT connection is made, only two
front speakers are required.
2. Connecting VIDEO OUT's
This DVD Player has 3 kinds of Video Outputs :
Component Video, S-Video and Composite Video.
If your receiver or amplifier has both VIDEO INPUT jacks and
VIDEO (MONITOR) OUTPUT jacks, connect these VIDEO
OUTS to the corresponding VIDEO IN jacks of your amplifier
or receiver and the receiver' MONITOR OUTPUT jacks to the
corresponding input jacks on your TV. If your amplifier or
receiver does not have the necessary input and output jacks,
connect these jacks directly to the VIDEO IN jacks of the TV.
(Refer to "CONNECTING TO TV WITH AUDIO AND VIDEO
INPUTS" on the next page.)
When making COMPONENT VIDEO connections, connect
"Y" to "Y", "R-Y" to "R-Y" (or "P
For your reference, video picture quality is usually rated as
follows :
"COMPONENT" > "S-VIDEO" > "COMPOSITE"
NOTE : Do not connect this unit to your TV through a VCR.
The copy protection function built into DVD software may
interfere with the picture.
3. Connecting DIGITAL OUTs
If your amplifier or receiver has built-in digital decoders or if
you wish to make direct connection to an MD or CD recorder,
connect the COAXIAL and/or OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUTS
to the corresponding DIGITAL INPUTS of the associated
device(s).
Notes :
You must select the appropriate digital output mode on this
DVD player before trying to use it with an outboard amplifier
or receiver via the digital connections.
Otherwise, operation with the incorrect digital mode may
result in a loud noise through your speakers that could
damage the speakers and/or our hearing. (For details, refer
to "When selecting the DIGITAL OUTPUT" on page 32.)
Recordings of DVD software made via the digital connection
on an MD or CD recorder may not be made properly.
When making the COAXIAL DIGITAL connections, use 75
Ohm coaxial cable not standard audio patch cords.
Not all of the commercially available optical cables are
suitable for use with audio equipment. If you have any
questions regarding the appropriateness of any cable,
please consult your dealer or a professional service
organization.
Remove the protecive cap before making any OPTICAL
DIGITAL connections. Re-install the cap when you will not
be using the OPTICAL INS or OUTS.

4. Connecting the 6.1 CH AUDIO OUTs
This DVD player has built-in multi-channel digital decoders for
DTS, Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, MPEG Multichannel and
Circle Surround including the 6.1 Extended Surround versions
of both DTS and Dolby Digital so you can enjoy high-quality
audio and surround sound without the need for an external
decoder.
Connect these jacks to the corresponding 6.1 (or 6) channel
inputs of your amplifier or receiver.
Notes :
If you amplifier or receiver has only 6 channel direct inputs,
do not hook up the REAR CENTER OUTPUT.
In that case, you can run the REAR CENTER OUTPUT to a
separate amplifier or powered speaker. With such a hook-
up, however, you will have limited ability to control the rear
center speaker level as this DVD player does not have a
master volume control. Center Rear volume trim is limited to
+/- 12 dB compared to the other channels. If you need more
volume adjustment capability, it should come from the
associated amplifier or powered speaker.
When using the 6.1 CH Audio Outs, adjustments for
speaker set-up, bass management, dynamic range control,
and surround sound mode should be made from this DVD
player and not from your amplifier or receiver.
(Refer to "When selecting the Dynamic Range Control",
when selecting the SURROUND" and "When selecting the
SPEAKER OPTIONS" on pages 33-34.)
5. Connecting to an additional amplifier or TV set
This unit incorporates additional audio and video outputs such
as (composite) VIDEO OUT 2 and MIXED AUDIO OUT 2 for
use with a second TV or amplifier.
To connect these jacks correctly, refer to "Connecting
MIXED AUDIO OUT's 1" and Connecting VIDEO OUTs"
described above.
6. AC INPUT CORD
When all connections are made, plug this cord into an AC
outlet.
7. VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH (Optional by region)
In some countries, this unit operates on AC 115V or AC 230V.
If your unit has this capability, set the VOLTAGE SELECTOR
switch to match your line voltage before connecting the AC
input cord to an AC outlet.
8. A/V SCART CONNECTORs (Regional Option)
Refer to "CONNECTING TO TV AND VCR WITH SCART
CONNECTORS (Regional Option)" on page 9.
