CONNECTIONS
The following shows examples of connections commonly used to connect the DVD player to TV and other
components. If using this DVD player to play back a DVD in a Dolby Digital Multi-channel surround or DTS
surround format, the DVD player outputs a Dolby Digital or DTS data stream from its OPTICAL or COAXIAL
DIGITAL OUT jacks. By connecting the player to a Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG decoder, you can enjoy more
convincing, realistic ambience with powerful and high-quality surrounding sound of a professional standard
which can be heard in movie theatres. Use an Optical (commercially available) or Audio Coaxial Digital cable
(commercially available) for the audio connections.
NOTES:
• Be sure to turn off the power to all components in the system before connecting another component.
• Refer to the Instruction Manuals for your TV, stereo system and any other components to be connected to the DVD player.
Connection to an Audio System
Method 1
AUDIO
Audio Input
Jacks
Audio Cable
(supplied)
AUDIO OUT
DVD
(analogue)
• Method 1
DVD Player + Stereo system
• Method 2
DVD Player + AV amplifier with a built in decoder (AV control centre), Dolby Digital decoder, DTS decoder,
MPEG decoder, MD deck or DAT deck
NOTES (for Method 2 only):
• When using an AV amplifier with a built-in decoder (AV control centre), Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder as shown in
the Method 2, set DOLBY DIGITAL, DTS or MPEG to BITSTREAM accordingly for audio output in the setup menu (refer
to page 30). Set it to PCM for the decoder that is not used currently. Playing back a DVD using incorrect settings may
generate noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers.
• The audio source on a disc in a Dolby Digital Multi-channel surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD
deck or DAT deck.
• Set DOLBY DIGITAL, DTS and MPEG to PCM, for audio output in the setup menu for connecting to an MD deck or DAT
deck (refer to page 30).
• Harsh noise that could harm your ears or the speakers is generated when a DVD recorded in DTS is played back while
using a decoder, etc., that is not DTS-compatible.
• When playing back a copyright-protected 96kHz linear PCM DVD, the digital sound will be down sampled at 48kHz, even if
you set LPCM SELECT to OFF (refer to page 30).
• Super Audio CD sound is not output from the DIGITAL OUT jacks.
Optical cable (commercially available)
• Optical cable (commercially available) may be damaged when bent at sharp angles. Ensure cables are coiled in loops
with a diameter of 15 cm or more when storing them.
• Use a cable which is 3 m or shorter.
• Insert cable plugs firmly into the connectors when making connections.
• If a plug has dust or is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth before inserting it into a connector.
