Dolby Digital/DTs A/V Receiver or Processor
Connecting to a Receiver/Amplifier
With a Dolby Digital or DTS Decoder
one of the major advantages of the DVD format is
its ability to use a variety of digital audio formats for
the ultimate in sonic performance. However, in order
to enjoy the benefits of digital audio, you must use a
receiver or processor that has digital audio decoding
capabilities and make an optical or coaxial digital
audio connection between the DVD and your home
theater system. This simple connection is made as
shown below with an optional coax or optical cable.
only one of these connections is required, and both
should not be made at the same time.
In order to take advantage of the high-resolution
DVD-Audio output of the DVD, you must connect the
6-Channel Audio Outputs B to the matching
6-channel inputs on your receiver or processor.
NOTES FOR ANALOG AUDIO:
If you wish to use the DVD as the input for a •
multiroom system, the Analog Audio Outputs
9 should be connected to the standard analog
left/right DVD or CD inputs on your digital receiver
or processor.
The connection from the
•
Analog Audio Outputs
9
to the TV is optional.
When the audio signal is to be fed to an analog •
receiver rather than to the TV, connect the Analog
Audio Outputs
9
to any analog audio inputs on
your receiver or processor.
The analog audio connection should also be made
•
if you wish to play high-resolution 96kHz PCM
audio discs where your receiver does not support
96kHz processing.
NOTES ON VIDEO:
Note: With multiple video sources, your Audio/ ■
Video device can be used for selecting the video
signal and routing it to the TV. Connect the video
output of the DVD player (whatever is provided
with your device) to the video input on your device
and the video output of this device to your TV. for
more details, see the manual of your Audio/Video
amplifier/receiver.
Note for Analog Audio: The connection from Audio
■
out to the TV is optional only. Normally you’ll hear
the sound from your AV-system’s speakers, so the
TV volume should be completely turned down.
If you plan to use your DVD player also without
having to turn on your complete system, this
connection must exist, then you can turn up the
TV´s volume as needed.
Connecting to a Receiver
When using the DVD with an audio/video receiver
or processor, connect it as follows. first, make one
of the video connections (
Composite Video
C
,
Component Video
E
or HDMI
H
) to the video
input jacks on the A/V receiver, and then connect
the receiver’s video monitor output to the TV. When
connecting to the Receiver of your system, use HDMI
for input as well as output, if your video display
is so equipped. Note that your Receiver has no
s-Video input jack. In addition, to benefit from the
high-resolution surround sound formats recorded on
DVD-Audio discs, which are not output via the HDMI
connection, you will need to make the
6-Channel
Audio Connection
A
to your receiver or processor.
second, if your receiver or processor is not HDMI-
capable, make either the
Optical Digital Audio
Connection
G
or the Coaxial Digital Audio
Connection
F
, to the receiver or processor.
IMPORTANT NOTE : Make certain that any device
being connected, including the DVD, your receiver or
processor and your TV or video display, is turned off
whenever you make connections between products.
Important Notes on SCART and RGB
format:
your DVD is equipped with a sCART connector for
■
direct connection to the TV.
The sCART connector provides the video signal as
■
well as audio (stereo l/R) signals.
The sCART connector for the TV provides the
■
composite video signal or the direct RGb signal,
delivering the best video performance possible,
selectable in the setup menu.
To view RGb video on your TV, the RGb compatible
sCART connector on the TV must be used and the
DVD´s TV sCART connector must be set to ”RGb”.
Note that with RGb video the color intensity cannot be
adjusted with most TVs.
When the RGb video signal is used, DVD´s
■
recorded with the NTsC format (with regional
code 0 or 2) can be viewed even on non-NTsC
compatible TVs.
