To Connect A Dvd Player - Kenwood Sovereign VR-5080 Connection And Setup Manual

Chapter One : Connecting Your Devices
Do not plug in the receiver to AC power until you have
connected all your devices.
This section focuses on the connections from your DVD
player to the VR-5700/VR-5090/VR-5080. Please refer to your
DVD player's instructions for more detail about its connec-
tion jacks and capabilities.
The instructions in this section show one of several pos-
sible variations on connecting your DVD player. For further
assistance on optional configurations, contact the store
where you purchased your receiver.
DTS disclaimer clause
DTS Digital Surround™ is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot be decoded and played back inside most CD, LD,
or DVD players. For this reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back through the analog outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be exhibited. To avoid possible
damage to the audio system, proper precautions should taken by the consumer if the analog outputs are connected directly to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™
playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must be connected to the digital output (S/PDIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the CD, LD or DVD player.
This unit is equipped with DTS Digital Surround™ decoder.
Connecting Your DVD Player, continued

To Connect a DVD Player:

1. Review the information under "Before You Begin" on
page 1. It contains important notes about the types of
video connections you can make.
2. Connect the video cables from the DVD's Video jacks to
the receiver's DVD PLAY IN jacks as shown to the left.
If your DVD and TV have the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks,
you can also connect them as shown on the left.
3. Connect the audio cables from the DVD's audio jacks
(AUDIO OUT, FRONT or MIX LINE OUT) to the
receiver's FRONT jacks of DVD/6CH. INPUT.
When the DVD player provides the DVD 6ch (DVD 5.1
ch) outputs, connect them to the FRONT, SURROUND,
CENTER and SUBWOOFER input jacks. (optional)
4. Connect the digital cable (either optical or coaxial) from
the DVD's digital jack to the appropriate digital jack on
the receiver as shown to the left.
The illustration shows two digital connections, one for
coaxial connection and one for optical connection. Your
DVD player supports one or the other of these connec-
tion methods—do not connect both.
5. Go to "Noting Your Devices" on page 3 and note which
jacks you used to connect your DVD player. In addi-
tion, note the brand name and model number of the
DVD player.
To play Dolby Digital or DTS-encoded software in multi-
channel configuration, you must connect the source device
via a digital connection.
The digital inputs of the receiver are not compatible with a
stereo signal with 192 kHz sampling frequency or a multi-
channel signal with 96 kHz sampling frequency. These sig-
nals should be input to the analog DVD/6CH. input jacks.
