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 OPTICAL OUT connector.

Using a receiver (amplifier) having the OPTICAL OUT 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.
