Connecting audio components to the DVD player

9.Connecting audio components to the DVD player

Besides sound playback of DVDs, VCDs/S-VCDs and audio and MP3 CDs via the speaker of the television, to which the DVD player is connected, sound can also be played back via external audio components such as

a HiFi system, Dolby digital/DTS receiver or a surround sound system.

9.1 Requirements for the connection of a HiFi system

In order to enjoy a full sound experience when playing DVDs with the DVD player you can connect a HiFi system to the player. Before connecting check with the HiFi system's instruction manual to verify...

•if the HiFi system is suitable for connection to a DVD player. If yes…

•if the HiFi system is equipped with cinch sockets; if yes, you can connect the HiFi system to the DVD player via cinch cables.

Connecting a HiFi system:

•Insert the white plug of the cinch cable into the cinch socket inscribed L on the rear panel of the DVD player.

•Then insert the white plug at the other end of the cinch cable into the left channel cinch socket on the HiFi system.

•Insert the red cinch cable plug into the cinch socket inscribed R on the rear panel of the DVD player.

•Insert the red plug at the other end of the cinch cable into the right channel cinch socket of the HiFi system.

•Check with the instruction manual which settings on the HiFi system may be necessary in order to reproduce sound via the HiFi system during the playback of a DVD, VCD/S-VCD, Audio or MP3 CD from the DVD player.

Note:

For an optimal sound experience place your HiFi system's loud speakers to the left and to the right of the television, on which you connected the DVD player.

If you connected the DVD player to the television via a Scart cable the Audio signal will be transmitted via the cinch cable to your HiFi system as well as via the Scart cable to the television. In this case, set the volume of the television to the lowest value.

9.2 Connecting digital audio components via digital cables

In order to enjoy Surround Sound during playback of correspondingly equipped DVDs (recognisable by the Dolby Digital or DTS-Logo) you can connect the DVD player to digital Audio components, for example a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver or a suitable Surround system.

You can purchase the necessary cables for the hereafter described connection variants from your dealer.

First check with the digital components instruction manual to see if it allows for connection to the DVD player...

•via a coaxial cable

•or via an optical cable.

Connection via coaxial cable

In order to connect the DVD player to a digital audio component with a digital

coaxial cable...

•Connect the COAXIAL inscribed plug to the corresponding socket on the digital audio component.

Connecting via optical cable

In order to connect the DVD player to a digital audio component with an

optical cable...

•Remove the protective plug from the OPTICAL inscribed socket on the rear panel of the DVD player and insert the optical cable plug.
