NOTES (for Method 2 only):
• When using an AV amplifier with a built in decoder (AV control center), Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder as shown in
the Method 2, set “DOLBY DIGITAL”, “DTS” or “MPEG”to “ON” accordingly for audio output in the setup mode (Refer to
page 24).Set it to “OFF” for the decoder that is not used currently. Playing a DVD using incorrect settings may generate
noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers.
•The audio source on a disc in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD
deck or DAT deck.
•
Set “DOLBY DIGITAL”, “DTS” or “MPEG”to “OFF” for audio output in the setup mode for connecting to an MD deck or DAT deck.

•
Harsh noise that could harm your ears or the speakers is generated when a DVD recorded in DTS is played while using a
decoder, etc., that is not DTS-compatible.
•
When playing a copyright-protected 96 KHz linear PCM DVD, the digital sound will be down sampled at 48 KHz, even if you set
“LPCM SELECT” to “OFF”.

CONNECTIONS
The followings show examples of connections commonly used to connect the DVD player to TV and other com-
ponents.
If using this DVD player to playback a DVD in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround or DTS surround format, the
DVD player outputs a Dolby Digital or DTS data stream from its OPTICAL or COAXIAL DIGITAL OUT jacks. By
hooking the player up to a Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG decoder, you can enjoy more convincing, realistic ambi-
ence with powerful and high-quality surround sound of a professional standard which can be heard in movie
theatres. Use a commercially available audio optical or coaxial digital cable for the audio connections.
NOTES:
• Be sure to turn off the power to all components in the system before connecting another component.
• Refer to the Instruction Manuals for your TV, stereo system and any other components to be connected to the
DVD player.
Optical cable
• Optical cable may be damaged when bent at sharp angles.Ensure cables are coiled in loops with a diameter of 15 cm or
more when storing them.
• Use a cable which is 3m or shorter.
• Insert cable plugs firmly into the connectors when making connections.
• If a plug has minor scratches or is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth before inserting it into a connector.
