Method, Connection to an audio system

HOOK UPS

The following show examples of connections commonly used to connect the DVD player either TV and other components.

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 OPTICAL or COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks. 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, which can be heard in movie theaters. Use an audio coaxial or optical digital cable (not included) for the audio connections. Use audio cables (commercially available ) for the 5.1 CH audio connection.

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.
