Notes

• DO NOT connect the BITSTREAM/PCM AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD video player to the AC-3 RF input of a Dolby Digital Receiver. This input on your A/V Receiver is reserved for Laserdisc use only and is incompatible with the BITSTREAM/PCM AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD video player.

• Connect the BITSTREAM/PCM AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD video player to the “OPTICAL” or “COAXIAL” input of a Receiver or Processor.

• Refer to the owner’s manual of the connected equipment as well.

• When you connect the DVD video player to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the wall outlet before making any connections.

• The output sound of the DVD video player has a wide dynamic range. Be sure to adjust the receiver’s volume to a moderate listening level. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by a sudden high volume sound.

• Turn off the amplifier before you connect or disconnect the DVD video player’s power cord. If you leave the amplifier power

on, the speakers may be damaged.
