Connecting to a Dolby Digital Decoder or DTS Decoder
Some Discs are recorded in a 5.1 channel Dolby Digital Surround or Digital Theater System (DTS)
Surround format. These Discs will sound best if you connect the DVD Player to a Dolby Digital or DTS
Decoder.
You will need a coaxial digital audio cable (not supplied).
If you connect the DVD Player to a Dolby Digital Decoder, set Dolby Digital to On. Details are on pages
40-41.
If you connect the DVD Player to a DTS Decoder, set DTS to On. Details are on pages 40-41.
If you do not connect the DVD Player to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, set Dolby Digital and DTS to
Off. Incorrect settings may cause noise distortion and damage the speakers.
Select 5.1 channel Dolby Digital Surround sound in the Disc menu.
Connect a subwoofer and the center, front, and surround speakers to the Decoder as described in the
Decoder's owner's manual.
