Notes:
• DO NOT connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
jack of the DVD video 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 BITSTREAM/PCM 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.
• Turn off the amplifier before you connect or disconnect
the DVD video player’s power cord. If you leave the
amplifier 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, Digital Theater
Systems (DTS) or MPEG2 decoding function, be
sure to set “Digital Out” to “PCM” from the on-
screen display 43
. Otherwise, high volume
sound may damage your hearing as well as the
speakers.
• 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 DVD video player are connected to an
amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital
