Notes

DO NOT connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD 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 COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD player.

Connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD player to the “DIGITAL (COAXIAL)” input of a Receiver or Processor.

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

When you connect the DVD 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 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.
