Connecting to an Amplifier (To Enjoy the Sound Advantage of the DVD Player) Although you can reproduce the DVD Player's sound from the TV speakers with the connections on pages 15, 16 and 17, connecting with an amplifier provides you high quality dynamic sounds. Before connecting • Refer to the instruction manual of the amplifier. • When you connect the DVD Player to the amplifier, be sure to turn off the power and unplug both units from the mains before making any connections. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged. • Connect the plugs securely. Incomplete Notes • The remote controller supplied with Onkyo amplifier can be used to operate the DVD player. • The function of the upper and lower z connectors are the same. Connect to either one. • Connecting z cable only does not make the system operational. You must also connect the audio cables as well. • When using the optical input jack, remove the protective cap and keep it safely. When the jack is not used, replace the protective cap.
