Installation and Connections OPTION 2: Direct Connections to a Television or Video Projector with Audio Connections to an A/V Receiver or Surround Processor To hear the benefits of discrete, multichannel digital audio, you will need to use an external Dolby Digital/DTS-capable A/V receiver or surround processor. In this installation, you maintain a direct video connection to your television, but use the audio processing from another device. Step 1: Connect the AC Power Cord ª to an AC outlet as shown in Connection A , but do NOT turn the DVD 50 on at this point. Step 2: Depending on the type of A/V receiver or surround processor you have make one of the following audio connections: If your A/V receiver or surround processor has digital decoding capability for Dolby Digital and DTS, you may make the connection by connecting either an optical or coaxial cable. For optical connections, run the cable from the Optical Digital Output • on the DVD 50 to an optical input on the A/V receiver, as shown in Connection B . For coaxial connections, run the cable from the Coaxial Digital Output ¶ on the DVD 50 to a coaxial input on the A/V receiver, as shown in Connection C . Either type of connection may be used and only A DVD 50 one is required. Remember to change the settings in your receiver or processor so that the digital input you have selected is configured for use with the DVD video input. If your A/V receiver or surround processor does not have digital decoding capability, you may still take advantage of the benefits of its analog surround processing such as Dolby Pro Logic*. Connect the left and right Analog Audio Outputs £ to the left and right audio inputs on your receiver or processor, as shown in Connection D . Step 3: Depending on the video input capabilities of your video display, make one of the following connections. For the highest video quality use component video connections, if available. An S-Video connection is the next best quality, followed by a standard composite video connection. If the video display has component video inputs, connect the Y/Pr/Pb Component Outputs ¢ on the DVD 50 to the matching input jacks on the back of your television as shown in Connection E . This connection is the same regardless of whether the component connection is to a digital television for progressive scan use or to a standard analog video display. TV If the video display has an S-Video input and component video is not available, connect the S-Video Output § on the DVD 50 to the S-Video input on your video display as shown in Connection F . If the only video input available on your television is a standard video jack, connnect the Composite Video Output ∞ on the DVD 50 to a matching composite video input on your video display as shown in Connection G . Note that in most cases the video input jack is recognizable by the yellow ring surrounding the input. Installation Note s Only one type of audio connection is required, either digital or analog. If possible, a digital connection is preferred as that will enable you to listen to DVD soundtracks with the clarity, definition and channel separation made possible by Dolby Digital and DTS. However, if you do not yet have a receiver capable of digital audio processing, you will still benefit from an analog connection so that the receiver may create a multichannel soundfield using Dolby Pro Logic or other matrix decoding.
