Connection: DVD + TV + Audio Receiver

Both Dolby Digital® and DTS® are audio formats
used to record 5.1-channel audio signals onto the
digital track of film (while the film 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 OUT Jack!
This player's digital 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 DVD Player's Sound menu,
especially when you use either of the DIGITAL AUDIO
OUT jack. For more information, go to page 45.
