Connecting—Continued

Notes:

Dolby Digital, DTS, DVD-Audio, and SACD can also be fully enjoyed by using i.LINK (page 35).

In addition to a digital connection, it’s recommended that you also connect the D.MIX AUDIO OUT to a spare analog audio input on your AV receiver, as this will allow you to record audio to a cassette recorder or CD recorder. If your AV receiver supports Zone 2, you must make an analog audio connection in order to select the DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E as the input source for Zone 2.

Make sure that the digital output (Digital 1 Out or Dig- ital 2 Out) is set to Dolby Digital (see page 74). Oth- erwise you won’t get surround sound. Likewise for DTS (see page 74).

When playing Dolby Digital or DTS soundtracks, be sure to select Dolby Digital or DTS decoding, respec- tively, on your AV receiver. Refer to your AV receiver’s manual.

L.Analog Audio Connection (Dolby Digital, DTS, DVD-Audio & SACD)

To fully enjoy the multichannel audio of DVD-Audio and SACD, you need to connect the DV-SP1000/ DV-SP1000E’s 5.1-channel analog audio output to a multichannel analog audio input on an AV receiver. Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks can also be fully enjoyed with this type of connection.

Use a multichannel analog audio cable (RCA) to connect the DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E’s FRONT, SURR 1, CENTER, and SUBWOOFER AUDIO OUTs to a 5.1- channel analog audio input on the AV receiver. (You can use several separate RCA audio cables instead of a mul- tichannel cable.) Set the SURR MODE (AUDIO OUT) switch to 1.

If your AV receiver supports 7.1-channels and you’re using back surround speakers, connect the DV-SP1000/ DV-SP1000E’s SURR 2 AUDIO OUTs to the receiver’s surround back left and right inputs as well, and set the DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E’s SURR MODE (AUDIO OUT) switch to 1+2.

Refer to the hookup information supplied with your AV receiver.

You can experience Dolby Digital only with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital logo. Likewise, you can experience DTS only with DVDs or CDs that bear the DTS logo.

DVD-Video discs may contain Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks. The Dolby Digital soundtrack will be selected by default. To play the DTS soundtrack, use the movie’s main menu and look under Language or Audio Setup. Alternatively, use the remote controller’s [AUDIO] button (see page 62).

See the table on page 28 for details on how the DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E’s audio outputs handle Dolby Digital, DTS, DVD-Audio, and SACD.
