SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
Connecting to a Receiver/Amplifier With a Dolby Digital or DTS Decoder
One of the major advantages of the DVD format is its ability to use a variety of digital audio formats for the ultimate in sonic performance. However, in order to enjoy the benefits of digital audio, you must use a receiver or processor that has digital audio decoding capabilities and make an optical or coaxial digital audio connection between the DVD 27 and your home the- ater system. This simple connection is made as shown below with an optional coax or optical cable. Only one of these connections is required, and both should not be made at the same time.
NOTES FOR ANALOG AUDIO:
•If you wish to use the DVD 27 as the input for a multiroom system, the Analog Audio Outputs • should be connected to the standard analog left/ right DVD or CD inputs on your digital receiver or processor.
•The connection from the Analog Audio Outputs
• to the TV is optional. If you plan on occasionally using your DVD 27 alone, without turning on your complete system, this connection must be made.
•When the audio signal is to be fed to an analog receiver rather than to the TV, connect the Analog Audio Outputs • to any analog audio inputs on your receiver or processor. The DVD 27 will “down- mix” Dolby Digital recordings to Dolby Pro Logic.
•The analog audio connection should also be made if you wish to play
NOTE ON VIDEO: With multiple video sources, your audio/video receiver can be used for selecting the video signal and routing it to the TV. Connect the Component ∞ Composite § or
Connecting to a Receiver

Second, make either the Optical Digital Audio Connection ƒ or the Coaxial Digital Audio Connection é, to the receiver or processor. If your receiver/processor has multiroom capability, you may also connect the DVD 27’s analog audio outputs to the DVD analog audio inputs on the receiver.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Make certain that any device being connected, including the DVD 27, your receiver or processor and your TV or video display, is turned off whenever you make connections between products.
