Connecting the DPC-7.4—Continued

Connecting Your Hi-Fi Amp

This section explains how to connect the DPC-7.4 to a stereo hi-fi amp or receiver for better sound quality than that of most TVs. This is ideal for playing your audio CDs and MP3/ WMA discs in the DPC-7.4. DVD-Videos and Video CDs will sound better too. You can also enjoy Dolby Pro Logic, so long as your receiver supports it.

Analog Connection

Use an RCA/phono audio cable to connect the DPC-7.4’s ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUTs to a pair of analog audio inputs on your hi-fi amp or receiver, as shown.

Notes:

•Be sure to set the Digital Out–>Dolby Digital setting to “Dolby Digital>PCM” (see page 42). Otherwise an unpleasant digital noise may be heard, which may damage your equipment.

•Never connect the DPC-7.4 to the AC-3RF input on a Dolby Digital receiver. The AC-3RF format is not sup- ported by the DPC-7.4.

Connecting for Dolby Digital or DTS

To enjoy Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound, you need to connect one of the DPC-7.4 digital audio outputs to the dig- ital input on a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an AV receiver with built-in decoders.

This hookup example will also allow you to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic, so long as your decoder or AV receiver supports it.

Notes:

•When you use the analog audio outputs, don’t play DTS CDs or don’t select DTS soundtracks on DVD-Videos. Doing so will produce unpleasant digital noise, which may damage your equipment.

•The DPC-7.4 has two composite video output connectors and two pairs of stereo analog audio output connectors. They output the same video and audio signals respectively.

Digital Connection

Use an optical (or coaxial) digital audio cable to connect the DPC-7.4’s OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT to an optical (or coaxial) input on your hi-fi amp or receiver, as shown.

Notes:

•	In addition to a digital connection, we recommend also
	connecting using the stereo analog connection.
	To record the audio from a CD-R disc etc. to a cassette or
	CDR recorder that’s connected to the AV receiver, and
	when your AV receiver has Zone2, you must connect the
	DPC-7.4’s analog audio outputs to the AV receiver.
•	Make sure that the Digital Out > Dolby Digital setting to
	“Dolby Digital” (see page 42). Otherwise you won’t get
	surround sound.
•	Also refer to the connection information supplied with
	your AV receiver or decoder.
•	When playing Dolby Digital or DTS source material, be
	sure to select Dolby Digital or DTS decoding, respectively,
	on your AV receiver or decoder. See the relevant manuals.
• You can experience Dolby Digital only with DVDs that
	bear the Dolby Digital logo. Likewise, you can experience

would default to Dolby digital format. For DTS playback

you would need to select DTS in the table of contents of

the movie. Usually in “Language” or in “Audio Setup”.
