Enjoying Dolby Digital Sound

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is the surround sound technology used in theaters showing the latest movies, and is now available to reproduce this realistic effect in the home. You can enjoy motion picture and live concert DVD video discs with this dynamic realistic sound by connecting the DVD player to a 6 channel amplifier equipped with a Dolby Digital decoder or Dolby Digital processor. If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround mark.

Notes:

DO NOT connect the PCM/AC-3 DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD player to the AC-3 RF input of a Dolby Digital Receiver. This input on your A/V Receiver is reserved for Laserdisc use only and is incompatible with the PCM/AC-3 DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD player.

Connect the PCM/AC-3 DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD player to the “DIGITAL” or “COAXIAL” input of a Dolby Digital Receiver

or Processor.

Refer to the instruction manual of the connected equipment as well.

When you connect the DVD player to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the wall outlet before making any connections.

The output sound of the DVD player has a wide dynamic range. Be sure to adjust the receiver’s volume to a moderate listening level. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by a sudden high volume sound.

Turn off the amplifier before you connect or disconnect the DVD player’s power cord. If you leave the amplifier power on, the speakers may be damaged.

When connecting the optical digital cable, remove the cap and fit the connector into the jack firmly. When not using the jack, keep it capped to protect it from dust intrusion.
