HOOK UPS

The following show examples of connections commonly used to connect the DVD player to TV and other components. If using this DVD player to play back a DVD in a Dolby Digital Multi-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 up the player to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy more convincing, realistic ambience with powerful and high-quality surrounding sound of a professional standard which can be heard in movie theaters. Use a commercially available audio optical or coaxial digital cable (not included) 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.

•Method 1 DVD Player + Stereo system

•Method 2 DVD Player + Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder

NOTES

•If output Dolby Digital audio, connect to a Dolby Digital decoder, and set Dolby Digital to ON for audio output in the setup mode. (Refer to page 25)

•If output DTS audio, connect to a DTS decoder, and set DTS to ON for audio output in the setup mode. (Refer to page 25)

•Unless connected to a Dolby Digital decoder, or a DTS decoder, set Dolby Digital or DTS to OFF for audio output in the setup mode. Playing a DVD using incorrect settings may generate noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers. (Refer to page 25)

•The audio source on a disc in a Dolby Digital Multi-channel surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD or DAT deck.

•Set Dolby Digital and DTS to OFF for audio output in the setup mode for method 1 only. Playing a DVD using incorrect set- tings may generate noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers. (Refer to page 25)

•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 96kHz PCM DVD, the digital sound will be down sampled at 48kHz, even if you set LPCM SELECT to OFF (Refer to page 25).

Optical cable (not supplied)

•Optical cable (not supplied) may be damaged when bent at sharp angles. Ensure cables are coiled in loops with a diame- ter of 6 inches (15 cm) or more when storing them.

•Use a cable which is 9.8 feet (3 m) or shorter.

•Insert cable plugs firmly into the connectors when making connections.

•If a plug has dust or is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth before inserting it into a connector.
