using the 2-channel analog audio output or one of the
digital audio outputs.

Digital Audio Output Connection
Connect one of the DVD player’s DIGITAL AUDIO
OUTPUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jacks to the
corresponding jack on your AV receiver.

match the capabilities of your amplifier, the ampli-
fier will produce a strong, distorted sound or no
sound at all.
•To see the audio format of the current disc in the
on-screen display, press AUDIO.
• This unit does not perform internal (2 channel)
decoding of a DTS sound track. To enjoy DTS
multi channel surround, you must connect this
unit to a DTS compatible AV receiver via one of
this unit’s digital audio outputs.

and DTS, see page 22.

ically, you must use the same type of video cable to con-
nect your DVD player to your AV receiver as you do to
