5.1 Channel Surround Hookups - Sony DVP-CX860 Operating Instructions Manual

5.1 Channel Surround Hookups

With DVDs which contain DTS, Dolby Digital or MPEG
audio sound, you can enjoy the surround sound while
producing the effect of being in a movie theater or a
concert hall using a digital component with a built-in
DTS, Dolby Digital or MPEG decoder (not supplied). The
player outputs the surround sound signals from the
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
Using a receiver (amplifier) having the OPTICAL or
COAXIAL connector and 6 speakers, you can enjoy even
greater real audio presence in the comfort of your own
home.
Note
When a DVD has a sound track with 7.1 channels recorded in
MPEG audio format, the output audio signals are mixed down to
5.1 channels.
Required cords
Optical digital connecting cord* (not supplied) (1)
Coaxial digital connecting cord* (not supplied) (1)
S video cord (supplied) (1)
* Connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or
COAXIAL connector using an optical or coaxial digital
connecting cord (not supplied). You do not need to connect
both of these cords. See the figure on the next page.
Notes
• Do not connect the power cord to a mains or press the POWER
switch before completing all connections.
• Refer to the instructions supplied with the component to be
connected.
• The cord connectors should be fully inserted into the jacks. A
loose connection may cause hum and noise.
Do not connect the power cord to a switched mains such
as the AC outlet (mains) on a receiver (amplifier). Doing so
may cause the Playback Memory, Bookmark, Disc Browser
and menu settings to be cancelled when you turn off the
receiver.
