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 the opposite page, connecting with an amplifier provides you high quality dynamic sounds.

To reproduce Dolby Digital surround, MPEG1 audio, MPEG2 audio, and DTS surround sound, you need to connect to an amplifier with a Dolby Digital, MPEG1 audio, MPEG2 audio, and DTS decoder respectively.

Before connecting

Refer to the instruction manual of the amplifier.

When you connect the DVD Player to the amplifier, be sure to turn off the power and unplug both units from the mains before making any connections. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged.

Connect the plugs securely.

Notes

The remote controller supplied with Onkyo amplifier can be used to operate the DVD player.

The function of the upper and lower z connectors are the same. Connect to either one.

Connecting z cable only does not make the system operational. You must also connect the audio cables as well.

For remote control operation, the audio connection cables must also be connected.

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.

Be sure to set the digital output setting after connection using the Setup Navigator explained in “Setting Up the Player” starting on page 16 or the function setting menu explained in “Adjusting Audio and Video Settings” starting on page 38.

Notes

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