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.

Notes

•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.

•You cannot use the karaoke function with the DIGITAL OUT connectors.
