9. Connecting audio components to the
DVD player
Besides sound playback of DVDs, VCDs/S-VCDs and audio and MP3 CDs
via the speaker of the television, to which the DVD player is connected,
sound can also be played back via external audio components such as
a HiFi system, Dolby digital/DTS receiver or a surround sound system.
9.1 Requirements for the connection of a HiFi system
In order to enjoy a full sound experience when playing DVDs with the DVD
player you can connect a HiFi system to the player. Before connecting check
with the HiFi system's instruction manual to verify...
•
if the HiFi system is suitable for connection to a DVD player. If yes...
•
if the HiFi system is equipped with cinch sockets; if yes, you can connect
the HiFi system to the DVD player via cinch cables.
Connecting a HiFi system:
•
Insert the white plug of the cinch cable into the cinch socket inscribed
L
on the rear panel of the DVD player.
•
Then insert the white plug at the other end of the cinch cable into the
left channel cinch socket on the HiFi system.
•
Insert the red cinch cable plug into the cinch socket inscribed
rear panel of the DVD player.
•
Insert the red plug at the other end of the cinch cable into the right channel
cinch socket of the HiFi system.
•
Check with the instruction manual which settings on the HiFi system may
be necessary in order to reproduce sound via the HiFi system during the
playback of a DVD, VCD/S-VCD, Audio or MP3 CD from the DVD player.
Note:
For an optimal sound experience place your HiFi system's loud speakers
to the left and to the right of the television, on which you connected the
DVD player.
If you connected the DVD player to the television via a Scart cable the Audio
signal will be transmitted via the cinch cable to your HiFi system as well as via
the Scart cable to the television. In this case, set the volume of the television to
the lowest value.
9.2 Connecting digital audio components via digital cables

DVDs (recognisable by the Dolby Digital or DTS-Logo) you can connect the
DVD player to digital Audio components, for example a Dolby Digital or DTS
receiver or a suitable Surround system.
You can purchase the necessary cables for the hereafter described connection
variants from your dealer.
First check with the digital components instruction manual to see if it allows
for connection to the DVD player...
•
via a coaxial cable
•
or via an optical cable.
