Connecting to Optional Equipment
You can enjoy high quality dynamic sounds by connecting the DVD video player
to optional audio equipment.
Warning
• When you are connecting (via the BITSTREAM/PCM
(DIGITAL) AUDIO OUT jack) an AV decoder that does
not have Dolby Digital, Digital Theater Systems (DTS)
or MPEG2 decoding function, be sure to set “Audio Out
Select” to “PCM” from the on-screen displays
.
Otherwise, high volume sound may damage your
hearing as well as the speakers.
• When playing DTS-encoded discs (audio CDs),
excessive noise may be output from the analog audio
output jacks. To avoid possible damage to the audio
system, you should take proper precautions when the
analog audio output jacks of the DVD video player are
connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS
Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1 channel
DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must be
connected to the BITSTREAM/PCM (DIGITAL) AUDIO
OUT jack of the DVD video player.
Notes
• DO NOT connect the BITSTREAM/PCM (DIGITAL)
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 (DIGITAL)
AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD video player.
• Connect the BITSTREAM/PCM (DIGITAL) AUDIO OUT
jack of the DVD video player to the “DIGITAL (OPTICAL)”
or “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 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.

Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is the surround sound technology used in theaters showing the
latest movies, and is now available to reproduce this realistic effect in the home.
You can enjoy motion picture and live concert DVD video discs with this dynamic
realistic sound by connecting the DVD video player to a 6 channel amplifier
equipped with a Dolby Digital decoder or Dolby Digital processor. If you have a
Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic
from the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital
soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround mark.
