CONNECTIONS
The following show examples of connections commonly used to connect the DVD player to TV and other com-
ponents.
If using this DVD player to playback a DVD in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround or DTS surround format, the
DVD player outputs a Dolby Digital or DTS data stream from its OPTICAL or COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
jacks.By hooking the player up to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy more convincing, realistic
ambience with powerful and high-quality surround sound of a professional standard which can be heard in
movie theaters.Use an audio coaxial or optical digital cable (not included) for the audio connections.
NOTES:
•Be sure to turn off the power to all components in the system before connecting another component.
•Refer to the Instruction Manuals for your TV, stereo system and any other components to be connected to the
DVD player.

ter of 15 cm or more when storing them.
