1)For clear digital sound quality, use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT PCM/ BITSTREAM (COAXIAL) jack to connect your digital audio equipment.

If the audio format of the digital output does not match the capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will produce a strong, distorted sound or no sound at all.

After you have completed connections

Switch the input selector on your TV to an appropriate external input channel. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual of your TV.

Note

Connect this unit directly to the TV. If the AV cables are connected to a VCR, pictures may be distorted due to the effects of the copy protection system.

Connecting a Dolby DigitalTM decoder, DTS decoder or MPEG decoder

Connecting multi-channel Dolby Digital decoder allows you to enjoy the multi-channel Dolby Digital surround system as well as DTS decoder, multi- channel surround system.

After connecting to a Dolby Digital decoder, set “Dolby Digital” to “Stream” in the Audio menu. (See page 115.)

After connecting to a DTS decoder, set “DTS” to “ON” in the Audio menu. (See page 115.)

After connecting to a MPEG decoder, set “MPEG” to “Stream” in the Audio menu. (See page 115.)

Connecting to an MD deck or DAT deck

The audio source recorded in Dolby Digital multi- channel surround format cannot be recorded using an MD or DAT deck as a digital sound.

If not connected to a Dolby Digital decoder, set “Dolby Digital” to “PCM” in the Audio menu (see page 115).

Playing back a DVD using incorrect settings may generate noise distortion, and damage speakers.

Set “Dolby Digital” and “MPEG” to “PCM” and set “DTS” to “OFF” in the Audio menu (see page 115) for connecting to an MD or DAT deck.

You can use ANALOG AUDIO OUT jacks for the connection of your audio system.
