Harman-Kardon DVD 506 owner manual Dolby Digital or DTS decoder

Setup and Connections

Connecting to a receiver/amplifier with Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS (Digital Theater Systems) decoder

When DVD´s encoded in Dolby Digital or DTS are played, the Dolby Digital or DTS bitstream is out- put from the player’s OPTICAL or COAXIAL digi- tal audio output. When the player is connected to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy theater-quality audio in your home. An optical digital audio cable or coaxial audio cable (both optional) is required for these connections, as shown below. Only one connection is needed, not both at the same time.

■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 completely 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.
