PREPARATIONS

Connect the AC cords of the unit and any external equipment last, after finishing all other connections.

Insert the plugs completely into the jacks. Loose connections may produce a humming sound or other noise interference.

When using an optical connection, remove the dust cap from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack on the rear of the unit. Keep the cap handy. When not using optical connections, the dust cap should be replaced.

Refer to the instructions of the connected equipment.

If picture noise appears while playing copy-protected DVDs, connect the unit directly to a TV. Do not connect through a VCR, TV/VCR, or AV selector.

For speaker connection, refer to the instructions of the AV receiver.

CAUTION

Do not select “DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM” or “Stream/PCM” in the “Digital Audio Output” of the setup menu when connecting to an AV receiver not equipped with a Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder (with an optical or coaxial connecting cord).

Merely attempting to play a DVD may cause a screeching noise which could be harmful to your ears and damage the speakers. In such a case, be sure to select “PCM” in the “Digital Audio Output.”
