Initial Setup Check List Turn down the volume, then turn this unit, as well as other equipment to be connected, off before proceeding with connection. Do not block ventilation holes of any equipment and arrange them so that air can circulate freely. Read through the instructions before connecting other equipment. Ensure that you observe the color coding when connecting audio and video cables.

For your reference: • Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2-channel) sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to be efficiently recorded on a disc. • Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in CDs. While CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, DVDs are recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit. • 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. For information on Panasonic or Technics Dolby Pro Logic Surround Sound Decoders please contact your local dealer. IMPORTANT NOTE: Caution for optical digital audio output connector: • When connecting an amplifier (with an Optical digital input connector) which does not contain the Dolby Digital or dts decoder, be sure to select "PCM" at "Dolby Digital" and "PCM" at "dts" of the Settings for DVD Operation "AUDIO OUTPUT" (see page 61). Otherwise, any attempt to play DVDs may cause such a high level of noise that it may be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers. • When a dts decoder is connected, please select "Bitstream" at "dts" of the Settings for DVD Operation "AUDIO OUTPUT." If "PCM" is selected, there will be stereo sound. (See page 61). • Video CDs and CDs can be played as usual. Note • Some dts decoders which do not support DVD-dts Interface may not work properly with the unit. Manufactured under license from Digital Theater Systems, Inc. US Pat.
