Installation and Connections OPTION 3: Audio and Video Connections through an A/V Receiver or Surround Processor only If your home entertainment system has other audio/video input sources in addition to the DVD 50, such as a VCR, cable set-top box or satellite receiver, LD player, personal video recorder or HDTV tuner, the most efficient way to manage the various components is to make all audio/video connections through an A/V receiver or surround processor. This simplifies the selection of an input source, and allows many different components to be connected to the same video display and speakers. 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 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 television as shown in Connection D .
