Tips
Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish
to connect, there are various ways you could connect
the player. Use only one of the connections
described below.
Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo
System or other devices as necessary to make the
best connections.
For better sound reproduction, connect the player’s
AUDIO OUT jacks to the audio in jacks of your
amplifier, receiver, stereo or audio/video equipment.
See “Connecting to Optional Equipment” on page 11.

TV. Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.
– Do not connect the DVD Player’s AUDIO OUT jack to
the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio system.
– Do not connect your DVD Player via your VCR. The
DVD image could be distorted by the copy protection
system.

Digital Multi-channel sound
A digital multi-channel connection provides the best
sound quality. For this you need a multi-channel
Audio/Video receiver that supports one or more of the
audio formats supported by your DVD Player (MPEG 2,
Dolby Digital and DTS). Check the receiver manual and
the logos on the front of the receiver.

will be in DTS digital out when DTS audio stream is
selected.
Notes
– If the audio format of the digital output does not match
the capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will
produce a strong, distorted sound or no sound at all.
– Six Channel Digital Surround Sound via digital con-
nection can only be obtained if your receiver is
equipped with a Digital Multi-channel decoder.
– To see the audio format of the current DVD in the on-
screen display, press AUDIO.
