Audio Connections

SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

One of the major advantages of the DVD format is its ability to use a variety of digital audio formats for the ultimate in sonic performance. However, in order to enjoy the benefits of digital audio, you must use a receiver or processor that has digital audio decoding capabilities and make an optical or coaxial digital audio connection between the DVD 22 and your home theater system. This simple connection is made as shown below with an optional coax or optical cable. Note that only one of these connec- tions is required, and the choice is determined by personal preferences, as well as the number of

inputs available on your receiver or processor as compared to the number of digital audio sources it must accommodate.

When your receiver or processor does not have digital audio capability, connect the left/right audio outputs (red/white colored jacks) to an available left/right audio input on your receiver or processor. You may also connect these outputs directly to the left/right audio inputs on a television or video display when an analog stereo or multichannel receiver is not used.

Even when making a digital audio connection, we recommend that you also connect the left/right analog audio outputs of the DVD 22 to your receiver or processor. While your primary listening will be done using multichannel audio that is decoded from the digital audio input, some receivers and proces- sors also require an analog connection for use with multizone systems or recording outputs. This optional connection is shown below.
