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 (AC-3) Decoder, set DOLBY DIGITAL to ON. Details are
on pages 38-39.
●
If you connect the DVD Player to a DTS Decoder, set DTS to ON. Details are on pages 38-39.
If the DVD Player is not connected to a Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS decoder, set DOLBY DIGITAL and
DTS to OFF. Incorrect settings may cause noise distortion and damage the speakers.
●
Select the 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.
