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 audio 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.

Required cords

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

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

S video cord (not 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 mains lead to 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 connectors. A loose connection may cause hum and noise.
