Setup and Connections
Please Read This Before Using the
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT Jack!
This player’s digital output jack is designed for
a connection to a Dolby Digital or DTS
receiver or decoder.
Older digital equipment may not be
compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream.
Such a connection can create a high level of
noise that may be harmful to your ears, and
could damage headphones or speakers.
It is important to choose the correct setting in
the DVD Player’s Setup menu, especially when
you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack.
If you are connecting your DVD Player to a
Dolby Digital receiver, choose the Dolby
Digital setting in the Audio Equipment menu
(within the Setup menu). If you’re connecting
your DVD Player to a DTS receiver or decoder,
choose the DTS setting in the Audio
Equipment menu. For more information, see
Audio Equipment menu information on p. 51.
Remove the Plastic Covers
If you’re using the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack,
check to see if there is a protective cover
inside of the jack and on the ends of the
optical digital cable. You must remove these
protective covers before inserting the optical
digital cable into the jack.

Dolby Digital and DTS

Both Dolby Digital and DTS are audio formats used to record
5.1-channel, audio signals onto the digital track of film. Both of these
formats provide six separate channels: left, right, center, left rear, right
rear, and common subwoofer.
Remember, the disc will only play 5.1-channel sound if you’ve connected a DTS
or Dolby Digital receiver or decoder and if the disc was recorded in the Dolby
Digital or DTS format.
