Making Connections

Optional Audio Connections

This DVD Player provides numerous ways to take full advantage of the digital multi-channel sound recorded on DVD and some CD media.

Digital connections

Make digital connections from the DVD Player to an AV component that features digital input capability or one or more multi-channel audio decoders to realize the full cinematic experience made possible by the DVD format. This DVD Player features optical and coaxial digital audio output jacks and can output Dolby Digital and DTS bitstreams as well as outputting standard PCM.

Make connections from the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL jack to the digital optical input jack on the AV component using an optical fiber cable (sold separately). Make connections from the DIGITAL OUTPUT COAXIAL jack to the digital coaxial input jack on the AV component using a coaxial cable (sold separately). It is not necessary to make more than one type of digital connection to a single component.

When you are making connections to an amplifier or receiver that has internal Dolby Digital or DTS decoding capabilities, set Digital Audio Out to “Dolby Digital” or “DTS” using the setup menu explained in “Customizing the Settings” starting on page 28. See page 33 for direct information.

When you are making connections to an amp or receiver that has digital input capabilities, but no internal decoder, set Digital Audio Out to “PCM” using the on-screen menu explained in “Customizing the Settings” starting on page 28. See page 33 for direct information. Setting Digital Audio Out to any other setting could result in digital noise being output that could cause harm your hearing and may also damage your speakers.

Notes

Refer to the instructions supplied with the AV component for details on what digital audio formats it is compatible with.

Even if digital audio connections are made, it is also recommended to make analog connections, because some conditions or media may prohibit digital audio output.
