audio formats supported by your DVD Player such as
MPEG 2, Dolby Digital and DTS. Check the Receiver
manual and the logos on the front of the Receiver.

Notes:

If the audio format of the digital output does not
match the capabilities of your Receiver, the Receiver
produces a strong, distorted sound or no sound at all. 

• Six Channel Digital Surround Sound via a digital

connection 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.

Analog connection to a multi-channel A/V receiver
with 6 Channel connectors (Dolby Digital, DTS): 

This DVD Player contains a multi-channel decoder.
This enables playback of DVDs recorded in 
Multi-channel Surround without the need for an
optional decoder.

Make the appropriate Sound settings for Analog
Output and Speaker Settings in the setup menu. See
