Connecting the DV-CP701—Continued

Connecting Your Hi-Fi Amp

This section explains how to connect the DV-CP701 to a ste- reo 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 DV-CP701. DVD-Video discs and Video CDs will sound better too. You can also enjoy Dolby Pro Logic, so long as your receiver supports it.

Analog Connection

Notes:

Be sure to set the Digital Out–>Dolby Digital setting to “Dolby Digital>PCM” (see page 41). Otherwise an unpleasant digital noise may be heard, which may damage your equipment.

Never connect the DV-CP701 to the AC-3RF input on a Dolby Digital receiver. The AC-3RF format is not sup- ported by the DV-CP701.

Use an RCA/phono audio cable to connect the DV-CP701’s ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUTs to a pair of analog audio inputs on your hi-fi amp or receiver, as shown.
