•Set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “PCM” and “DTS” to “OFF” for audio output in the setup mode. Playing a DVD using incorrect settings may generate noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers.(See page 14 to change the audio settings.)

Connecting to a Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder

If using this DVD player to playback a DVD in a 5.1 channel Dolby Digital 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 the player up to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy a more convincing, realistic ambience with powerful and high-quality surround sound of a professional standard such as can be heard in movie theaters.

Use an audio coaxial digital cable (commercially available) for the audio connections.

HOW TO CONNECT TO A TV WITHOUT AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT JACKS

If your TV does not have RCA type audio and video input jacks it is still possible to connect this DVD player to your TV’s 75-ohm coaxi- al antenna terminal using a commercially available Stereo Audio/Video RF Modulator. Connect the audio and video outputs of the DVD player to the audio and video inputs on the RF Modulator, and then connect the coaxial output of the RF Modulator (usually marked “TO TV”) to the 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal on your TV. Follow the instruction supplied with the RF Modulator for more details.

If your TV’s 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal is already occupied by an antenna or cable box connection, remove that cable from your TV’s antenna terminal and reconnect it to the coaxial antenna input terminal of the RF Modulator (usually marked “ANT IN”), then con- nect the RF modulator to your TV’s antenna terminal.

NOTE:

• The picture quality from DVDs will not be as good if the DVD player is connected to the TV’s antenna terminal through an RF Modulator.
