SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

Connecting to a Receiver/Amplifier With Dolby Digital or DTS Decoder

When DVDs encoded in Dolby Digital or DTS are played, the Dolby Digital or DTS bitstream is outputted from the player’s optical or coaxial digital audio output. When the player is connected to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy theater-quality audio in your home. An optical digital audio cable or coaxial audio cable (both optional) is required for these con- nections, as shown below. Only one connection is needed, not both at the same time.

•NOTE: With multiple video sources, your audio/video device can be used for selecting the video signal and routing it to the TV. Connect the video or S-Video output of the DVD 25 (whatever is provided with your device) to the video or S-Video input on your device, and the video/S-Video output of this device to your TV. For more details, see the manual of your audio/ video amplifier/receiver.

•NOTE FOR ANALOG AUDIO: The connection from Audio Out to the TV is optional. If you plan on using your DVD 25 alone, without turning on your complete system, this connection must be made; then you can turn up the TV´s volume as needed. The analog audio jacks may also be connected to the standard analog left/right DVD or CD inputs on your receiver to processor if you wish to use the DVD 25 as the input for a multiroom system.
