Connecting to an Amplifier

(To Enjoy the Sound Advantage of the DVD Player)

Although you can reproduce the DVD Player’s sound from the TV speakers with the connections on the opposite page, connecting with an amplifier provides you high quality dynamic sounds.

To reproduce Dolby Digital surround, MPEG1 audio, MPEG2 audio, and DTS surround sound, you need to connect to an amplifier with a Dolby Digital, MPEG1 audio, MPEG2 audio, and DTS decoder respectively.

Before connecting

Refer to the instruction manual of the amplifier.

When you connect the DVD Player to the amplifier, be sure to turn off the power and unplug both units from the mains before making any connections. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged.

Connect the plugs securely.
