5.1 Channel Surround Hookups

Started Getting

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.

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.
