Making Connections

Connecting to an Amplifier

(To enjoy the sound advantage of the DVD Player)

Although you can reproduce the DVD Player’s sound from the TV speakers with the connections on pages 13, 14, and 15, connecting with an amplifier provides you high quality dynamic sounds.

To reproduce Dolby Digital surround and DTS surround sound, you need to connect to an amplifier with a Dolby Digital and DTS decoder respectively.

Notes

• When using the optical output jack, remove the protective cap and keep it safely. When the jack is not used, replace the protective cap.

• The function of the upper and lower zconnectors are the same. Connect to either one.

• A remote controller supplied with an Onkyo amplifier can be used to operate this DVD player.

•Connecting the z cable only does not make the system operational. You must also connect the analog RCA/phono cables as well.

■Making a digital connection with the amplifier

If your amplifier has a digital input jack, be sure to connect it to either DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL jack on the DVD player.

Note

DO NOT connect to the AC-3RF input (e.g. of a Dolby Digital receiver) which is reserved only for video disc players.

■Making the analog connection with the amplifier

If your amplifier has no digital audio input, you can make the analog connection. If the amplifier has a Dolby Pro Logic decoder, you can reproduce the Dolby Pro Logic surround sound.

Be sure to set the “Digital Audio Out” setting after connection using the Setup explained on page 33.
