Connecting to Optional Equipment
You can enjoy high quality dynamic sounds by connecting the DVD player to optional audio equipment.
* Settings for HDMI output format are performed using the HDMI button on the remote control or HDMI SELECT button
on the front panel.
Notes
• DO NOT connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD player to the AC-3 RF input of a Dolby Digital
Receiver. This input on your A/V Receiver is reserved for Laserdisc use only and is incompatible with the COAXIAL
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD player.
• Connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD 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 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 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.
• Turn off the amplifi er before you connect or disconnect the DVD player’s power cord. If you leave the amplifi er power on,
the speakers may be damaged.
Warning
• When you are connecting (via the COAXIAL DIGITAL
AUDIO OUT jack) an AV decoder that does not have
Dolby Digital, DTS
®
or MPEG2 decoding function, be
sure to set “Digital out” to “PCM” from the on-screen
displays. Otherwise, high volume sound may damage
your hearing as well as the speakers.
• When playing DTS-encoded discs (DVDs and 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 player are
connected to an amplifi cation 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 player.
