Sound

1Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound. Connect the DVD/VCR DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (either COAXIAL or OPTICAL) to your amplifier or receiver (for DVD features only).

2Use SCART Output (DVD/VCR(AV1 TV)) for better sound quality (for DVD and VCR features).

If digital connections are not possible, connect the DVD/VCR ANALOG AUDIO OUT(Left and Right) to your amplifier, receiver, stereo or TV (for DVD features only).

Warning!

Never make or change connections with the power switched on.

Connect the DVD/VCR directly to your TV, instead of eg. a VCR, to avoid distortion because DVD video discs are copy protected.

Do not connect the ANALOG AUDIO OUT of DVD/VCR to PHONO IN of your amplifier or receiver.

If you use the Euro audio/video cable, it is not necessary to connect the analog audio cable.

The player outputs the surround sound signals from the DIGITAL OUT COAXIAL or OPTICAL connector.

If your receiver has a MPEG 2 or Dolby Digital decoder, Connect the COAXIAL or OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT of the DVD/VCR to the COAXIAL or OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO IN on your receiver.

Notes:

If the audio format of the digital output does not match the capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will produce a strong, distorted sound or no sound at all.

MP3 Audio is not available on the Digital Output.

You will still need the video cable or RF coaxial cable for VCR features.
