CONNECTIONS

Before connections

- Do not connect the unit to a VCR directly. The playback picture will be
distorted because DVD discs are copy protected.
- When you connect the unit to your TV and other equipment, be sure
to turn off the power and disconnect all of the equipments from the wall
outlet until all the connections have been made.
- Please refer to the instruction manuals for the components that you
are connecting (TV, AV amplifier, etc.).

Connecting to a TV with the audio/video lead (Fig. 7)

Connecting to a TV with an EURO-AV lead

Please follow this step before turning on the power.
If your TV has an EURO-AV socket, connect the unit as shown in Fig.8.
(Do not connect the video lead to the VIDEO OUT socket.) You can enjoy
clearer picture playback.
As an alternative to using the TV’s speakers, the sound can also be
played back through a HiFi system or an amplifier.
Connecting to a HiFi system with analog two-channel stereo sound
Connect an audio lead (not supplied) to the AUDIO OUT sockets of the unit
and to the appropriate sockets of the HiFi system.
- The AUDIO OUT sockets can also be used for connection to an AV
system with Dolby Pro Logic decoder.
Note:
To enjoy Dolby Pro Logic sound, select “Dolby Digital: LPCM” in “Setting
digital out”. (See Page 15.)
Connecting to a digital multi-channel AV amplifier (Fig.9)
The digital multi-channel sound of a DVD can best be decoded and played
with a multi-channel AV amplifier (Dolby Digital decoder or MPEG-2
decoder).
The AV amplifier has to be able to process the DTS audio signal in order
to play a DVD with DTS. If it cannot, then you will not be able to hear the
DVD.
Note:
Select “Setting digital out” setting as follows. (See Page 15.)
- To enjoy Dolby Digital sound, select “Dolby Digital: BitStream”.
- To enjoy DTS sound, select “DTS: On”.
- To enjoy MPEG-2 sound, select “MPEG: BitStream”.
- To enjoy 2 channel digital stereo sound, select “Dolby Digital: LPCM”,
“DTS: Off”, “MPEG: LPCM”.
Notes on the digital socket connection
Before connecting, remove the protective cap from the DIGITAL OUT
socket. Replace the cap if there is no device connected to this socket.
