Other Audio Playback Options

■You can enjoy high-quality surround audio playback by connecting the DPC-6.1 to an amplifier equipped with a Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic Surround, or DTS decoder. Furthermore you can transfer the signal of audio CDs to your amplifier in the digital domain if it is fitted with a digital input.

See pages 10 and 11 for the video hookup of the DPC-6.1 to your TV set.

When using an optical digital cable, remove the cap from the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL connector and firmly fit the cable’s jack into the connector. When not using this connector, keep it capped to protect it from dust intrusion.

Notes:	• Before connecting the DVD Changer to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all components
	from the wall outlet.

•This DVD Changer outputs a very dynamic audio signal. Be sure to set the amplifier’s volume to a moderate listening level to avoid damaging your speakers due to sudden volume surges.

•Switch off the amplifier or select another input source before connecting or disconnecting the DVD Changer’s power cable. If you leave the amplifier power on, the speakers may be damaged.

Amplifier equipped with a

Dolby Digital decoder

Playback of Dolby Digital-encoded discs requires that you establish a digital connection with the amplifier. The selection of the DPC- 6.1’s DIGITAL OUTPUT depends on the type of digital input provided on your amplifier. Use either the DIGITAL OUTPUT COAXIAL or OPTICAL connector. See the amplifier’s manual for details.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a surround sound technology used in movie theaters that is now also available on equipment for a home environment. You can play back motion picture and live-concert DVD videos of this sound format by connecting the DVD Changer to a 6-channel amplifier equipped with a Dolby Digital decoder or Dolby Digital processor. If your amplifier (or separate decoder) supports Dolby Pro Logic Surround, you can even play back Dolby Pro Logic- encoded DVD movies with full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as titles with the Dolby Surround mark.

Your DPC-6.1 also supports Dolby Pro Logic Surround. This effect can be obtained in one of two ways: via a digital or an analog connection with an amplifier that supports Dolby Pro Logic Surround (see below).

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

Playback of Dolby Pro Logic Surround-encoded DVD videos requires that you connect the DPC-6.1 to an amplifier with right and left front speakers, a center speaker, and one or two surround speakers.

Feel free to use one or two surround speakers. Be aware, though, that the output sound of the rear channel will be monaural even if you connect two surround speakers.

• If your amplifier is fitted with a digital input:

See the connection for Dolby Digital playback above and make the suggested settings. See also the amplifier’s manual for how to select its Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode.

• If your amplifier has no digital input:

Connect the DPC-6.1’s ANALOG OUTPUTs as shown in the illustration to the left, and make the following setting:

Setting	Select:	Page
Audio Out Select	Analog 2ch	36

• Select the Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode on your amplifier.
