• When playing DTS-encoded discs (audio CDs),
excessive noise may be output from the analog audio
output jacks. To avoid possible damage to the audio
system, you should take proper precautions when the
analog audio output jacks of the DVD video player are
connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS
Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1 channel
DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must be
connected to the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack
of the DVD video player.
Notes
• DO NOT connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

reserved for Laserdisc use only and is incompatible with
the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD video
player.
• Connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack of the
DVD video player to the “DIGITAL (COAXIAL)” input of a
Receiver or Processor.
• Refer to the owner’s manual of the connected equipment
as well.
• When you connect the DVD video player to other
equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all of
the equipment from the wall outlet before making any
connections.
• The output sound of the DVD video player has a wide
dynamic range. Be sure to adjust the receiver’s volume to
a moderate listening level. Otherwise, the speakers may
be damaged by a sudden high volume sound.

the DVD video player’s power cord. If you leave the
amplifier power on, the speakers may be damaged.
