Precautions Setup VCR Functions DVD Functions Information Connection to an Audio System If using this DVD player to play back a DVD in a Dolby Digital Multi-channel surround or DTS surround format, the DVD player outputs a Dolby Digital or DTS data stream from its COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack. By hooking up the player to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy more convincing, realistic ambience with powerful and highquality surrounding sound of a professional standard which can be heard in movie theaters. Use a commercially available digital audio coaxial cable for the audio connections.

Note: • Be sure to turn off the power of all components in the system before connecting another component. • Refer to the Instruction Manuals for your TV, stereo system and any other components to be connected to the DVD player. Note (for method 2 only): • When using an AV amplifier with a built in decoder (AV control center), Dolby Digital, or DTS decoder as shown in the Method 2, set "DOLBY DIGITAL" or "DTS" to "BITSTREAM" accordingly for audio output in the setup mode (refer to pages 27-28). Set it to "PCM" or "OFF" for the decoder that is not used currently. Playing back a DVD using incorrect settings may generate noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers. • The audio source on a disc in a Dolby Digital Multi-channel surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD deck or DAT deck. • Set "DOLBY DIGITAL" to "PCM" and "DTS" to "OFF" for audio output in the setup mode for connecting to an MD deck or DAT deck (refer to pages 27-28). • Harsh noise that could harm your ears or the speakers is generated when a DVD recorded in DTS is played while using a decoder, etc., that is not DTS-compatible. • When playing a copyright-protected 96kHz PCM DVD, the digital sound will be down sampled at 48kHz, even if you set "DOWN SAMPLING" to "OFF" (refer to pages 27-28).
