Connection with an AV Amplifier

Do not insert the power cord plugs of the player and the connected components until all of the components have been connected.

For details on the connection terminals and functions of the AV amplifier, refer to its instruction manual.

The video output from the player should be connected directly to the AV amplifier. If the video output is connected through a VCR, the picture displayed on the TV may be disturbed due to the copy protect function.

To Connect an AV amplifier

6-Channel audio connection: When the connected AV amplifier has 6-channel audio input jacks, connect the 6CH. OUTPUT jacks of the player to them.

When an amplifier which is not compatible with 6- channel inputs is connected, use the signals from the MIX LINE OUTPUT jacks of the player. The multi-channel surround audio will be down-mixed

and output.

Audio connection: Connect the MIX LINE OUTPUT jacks of the player to the audio input jacks of the AV amplifier using the provided audio cables.

Digital audio connection: Connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL OUTPUT connector of the player to the digital audio input connector of the AV amplifier.

It is also possible to perform digital connection using a commercially available optical fiber cable and the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT jack.

Video connection: Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT jack of the player to the video input jack of the AV amplifier using the provided video cable.

S Video connection: When the connected TV has an S Video connector, connect the S VIDEO OUTPUT connector of the player to it using the provided S Video cable.

As S Video separates video signal into the luminance signal (Y) and color signal (C), it can provide sharper pictures than ordinary video connection.

To Set Up of the Player

Setup for digital audio connection: If the connected AV amplifier does not contain any of Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG decoder, be sure to set the "Digital Audio" settings after connecting the player to it.

For the nonexistent decoders, set the "Digital Audio" setting to "PCM". If the player is played without changing the initial "Bitstream" setting, extremely loud noise will be produced and may damage the speak- ers.

Audio output from DVD AUDIO

When the "D.MIX" (down-mix) indicator is not lit, the MIX LINE OUTPUT, DIGITAL OUTPUT and PHONES output jacks output the front (L/R) channel signals instead of the down-mixed 2-channel signals. The 6CH. OUTPUT jacks output the same number of channels as the original number of channels recorded in the DVD AUDIO disc, regardless of the speaker setting. When the "P.PCM" indicator is lit, the 6CH. OUTPUT jacks output the same number of channels as the original number of channels regardless of whether the "D.MIX" indicator is lit or not.

DTS disclaimer clause

DTS Digital Surround™ is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot be decoded and played back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players. For this reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back through the analog outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be exhibited. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, proper precautions should be taken by the consumer if the analog outputs are connected directly to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the CD, LD or DVD player.

This unit is equipped with DTS Digital Surround™ decoder.
