Connecting to a Receiver/Amplifier With a Dolby Digital or DTS Decoder

One of the major advantages of the DVD format is its ability to use a variety of digital audio for- mats 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 28 and your home theater system. This simple connection is made as shown below with an optional coax or optical cable. Only one of these connections is required, and both should not be made at the same time.

In order to take advantage of the high-resolution DVD-Audio output of the DVD 28, you must connect the 6-Channel Audio Outputs to the matching 6-channel inputs on your receiver or processor.

NOTES FOR ANALOG AUDIO:

•If you wish to use the DVD 28 as the input for a multiroom system, the Analog Audio Outputs should be connected to the standard analog left/right DVD or CD inputs on your digital receiver or processor.

•The connection from the Analog Audio Outputs to the TV is optional.

•When the audio signal is to be fed to an analog receiver rather than to the TV, connect

the Analog Audio Outputs to any analog

audio inputs on your receiver or processor.

•The analog audio connection should also be made if you wish to play high-resolution 96kHz PCM audio discs where your receiver does not support 96kHz processing.

NOTES ON VIDEO:

■Note: With multiple video sources, your Audio/Video device can be used for selecting the video signal and routing it to the TV. Connect the video or S-video output of the DVD player (whatever is provided with your device) to the video or S-video input on your device and the video/S-video output of this device to your TV. For more details, see the manual of your Audio/Video amplifier/receiver.

■Note for Analog Audio: The connection from Audio Out to the TV is optional only. Normally you´ll hear the sound from your AV-system´s speakers, so the TV volume should be com- pletely turned down. If you plan to use your DVD player also without having to turn on your complete system, this connection must exist, then you can turn up the TV´s volume as needed.

Connecting to a Receiver

When using the DVD 28 with an audio/video receiver or processor, connect it as follows. First, make one of the video connections (Composite Video C, S-Video D, Component Video E or HDMI H) to the video input jacks on the A/V receiver, and then connect the receiver’s video monitor output to the TV. In addition, to benefit from the high-resolution surround sound formats recorded on DVD-Audio discs, which are not out- put via the HDMI connection, you will need to make the 6-Channel Audio Connection A to your receiver or processor.

Second, if your receiver or processor is not HDMI- capable, make either the Optical Digital Audio Connection G or the Coaxial Digital Audio Connection F, to the receiver or processor.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Make certain that any device being connected, including the DVD 28, your receiver or processor and your TV or video display, is turned off whenever you make connec- tions between products.

Important Notes on SCART and RGB format:

■Your DVD is equipped with a SCART connec- tor for direct connection to the TV.

■The SCART connector provides the video signal as well as audio (stereo L/R) signals.

■The SCART connector for the TV provides the composite video signal or the direct RGB signal, delivering the best video performance possible, selectable in the Setup menu.

To view RGB video on your TV, the RGB compatible SCART connector on the TV must be used and the DVD´s TV SCART connector must be set to ”RGB”.

Note that with RGB video the color intensity cannot be adjusted with most TVs.

■When the RGB video signal is used, DVD´s recorded with the NTSC format (with regional code 0 or 2) can be viewed even on non- NTSC compatible TVs.
