Connection to an Audio System
• Method 1
DVD Stereo system
• Method 2
DVD AV amplifier with a built in decoder (AV control center), Dolby Digital decoder, DTS decoder, MD deck or DAT deck
If using this DVD player to play back a DVD in a Dolby Digital Multi-channel surround or DTS surround format, the DVD player outputs a
Dolby Digital or DTS data stream from its COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack.
By hooking up the player to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy more convincing, realistic ambience with powerful and high-
quality surrounding sound of a professional standard which can be heard in movie theaters.
Use a commercially available digital audio coaxial cable for the audio connections.

Note:
• Be sure to turn off the power of all components in the system before
connecting another component.
• Refer to the Instruction Manuals for your TV, stereo system and any
other components to be connected to the DVD player.
Note (for method 2 only):
• When using an AV amplifier with a built in decoder (AV control center),
Dolby Digital, or DTS decoder as shown in the Method 2, set “DOLBY
DIGITAL” or “DTS” to “BITSTREAM” accordingly for audio output in the
setup mode (refer to pages 27-28). Set it to “PCM” or “OFF” for the decoder
that is not used currently. Playing back a DVD using incorrect settings may
generate noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers.
• The audio source on a disc in a Dolby Digital Multi-channel surround
format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD deck or DAT deck.
• Set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “PCM” and “DTS” to “OFF” for audio output in
the setup mode for connecting to an MD deck or DAT deck (refer to
pages 27-28).
• Harsh noise that could harm your ears or the speakers is generated
when a DVD recorded in DTS is played while using a decoder, etc., that
is not DTS-compatible.
• When playing a copyright-protected 96kHz PCM DVD, the digital sound
will be down sampled at 48kHz, even if you set “DOWN SAMPLING” to
“OFF” (refer to pages 27-28).
Supplied cables used in this connection are as follows:
• RCA audio cable (L/R) x 1
Please purchase the rest of the necessary cables at your
local store.
