5.1 Channel Surround Hookups

With DVDs which contain DTS, Dolby Digital or MPEG audio sound, you can enjoy the surround sound while producing the effect of being in a movie theater or a concert hall using a digital component with a built-in DTS, Dolby Digital or MPEG decoder (not supplied). The player outputs the surround sound signals from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors. Using a receiver (amplifier) having the OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector and 6 speakers, you can enjoy even greater real audio presence in the comfort of your own home.

Note

When a DVD has a sound track with 7.1 channels recorded in MPEG audio format, the output audio signals are mixed down to 5.1 channels.

Required cords

Optical digital connecting cord* (not supplied) (1)

Coaxial digital connecting cord* (not supplied) (1)

S video cord (supplied) (1)

*Connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector using an optical or coaxial digital connecting cord (not supplied). You do not need to connect both of these cords. See the figure on the next page.

Notes

•Do not connect the power cord to a mains or press the POWER switch before completing all connections.

•Refer to the instructions supplied with the component to be connected.

•The cord connectors should be fully inserted into the jacks. A loose connection may cause hum and noise.

Do not connect the power cord to a switched mains such as the AC outlet (mains) on a receiver (amplifier). Doing so may cause the Playback Memory, Bookmark, Disc Browser and menu settings to be cancelled when you turn off the receiver.
