NOTES (for method 2 only):
• When using an AV amplifier with a built in decoder (AV control centre), Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder as shown in
the Method 2, set “DOLBY DIGITAL”, “DTS” or “MPEG” to “BITSTREAM” accordingly for audio output in the setup menu
(refer to page 24). Set it to “PCM” or “OFF” for the decoder that is not used currently. Playing 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 5.1 channel surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD
deck or DAT deck.
• Set “DOLBY DIGITAL” and “MPEG” to “PCM”, and “DTS” to “OFF” for audio output in the setup menu for connecting to an MD
deck or DAT deck (refer to page 24).
• 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.

CONNECTIONS
The following show examples of connections commonly used to connect the DVD player to TV and other
components.
If using this DVD player to play back a DVD in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround or DTS surround format,
the DVD player outputs a Dolby Digital or DTS data stream from its OPTICAL or COAXIAL DIGITAL OUT jacks.
By hooking the player up to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy a more convincing, realistic ambi-
ence with powerful and high-quality surround sound of a professional standard, which can be heard in movie
theatres. Use an audio coaxial or optical digital cable (not included) for the audio connections.
NOTES:
•
Be sure to turn off the power to 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.
Optical cable (not supplied)
• Optical cable (not supplied) may be damaged when bent at sharp angles. Ensure cables are coiled in loops with a diame-
ter of 15 cm or more when storing them.
• Use a cable which is 3m or shorter.
• Insert cable plugs firmly into the connectors when making connections.
• If a plug has dust or is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth before inserting it into a connector.
