Digital Stereo Hookups

You can connect the TV/VCR/DVD to a Stereo that has a Digital Coaxial In jack. Use this hookup if you want to hear the TV/VCR/DVD sound through the Stereo instead. Use these connections for a Dolby Digital-compatible Stereo or for a Receiver that has a Mini-Disc or Digital Audio Tape deck.

1 Connect the antenna/Cable TV signal. Details are on pages eight-nine.

2 Connect a digital audio coaxial cable (not supplied) to the orange COAXIAL jack on the TV/VCR/DVD.

Also connect the cable to the Stereo’s COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO IN jack.

3 If the Stereo is Dolby Digital-com- patible, set DOLBY DIGITAL to ON. If the Stereo is not Dolby Digital- compatible or if you connected to a Mini-Disc or Digital Audio Tape Deck, set DOLBY DIGITAL to OFF. Details are on page 72.

An incorrect setting causes noise distor- tion and damages speakers.

To see if your Stereo has Dolby Digital, look for a Dolby Digital logo on your Stereo. Or, refer to the Stereo owner’s manual.

Helpful Hints

•You cannot use a Mini-Disc or Digital Audio Tape deck to copy 5.1 channel Dolby Digital sur- round sound Discs.

•Discs recorded in Dolby Digital should show this on the Disc or case. If the Disc is not recorded in 5.1 channel Dolby Digital sur- round sound, you will not hear multi-channel sound even if you use the Digital Stereo hookup.
