Connecting the DPC-7.7—Continued
To enjoy Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound, you
need to connect one of the DPC-7.7 digital audio outputs
to the digital input on a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or
an AV receiver with built-in decoders.
Analog Connection
Use an RCA/phono audio cable to connect the
DPC-7.7’s ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUTs to a pair of
analog audio inputs on your AV receiver, as shown.
Digital Connection
Use an optical (or coaxial) digital audio cable to connect
the DPC-7.7’s COAXIAL (or OPTICAL) DIGITAL
AUDIO OUTPUT to an optical (or coaxial) input on
your AV receiver, as shown.
Notes:
• Make sure that the Digital/HDMI Audio Out setting
on the Audio menu is set to All (see page 47). Other-
wise, you won’t get surround sound.
• Also refer to the connection information supplied with
your AV receiver or decoder.
• When playing Dolby Digital or DTS source material,
be sure to select Dolby Digital or DTS decoding,
respectively, on your AV receiver or decoder. See the
relevant manuals.
• You can experience Dolby Digital only with DVDs
that bear the Dolby Digital logo. Likewise, you can
experience DTS only with DVDs or CDs that bear the
DTS logo.
This section explains how to connect the DPC-7.7 to a
stereo amp for better sound quality than that of most
TVs. This is ideal for playing your audio CDs and MP3/
WMA discs in the DPC-7.7. DVD-Video discs will
sound better too.
Analog Connection
Use an RCA/phono audio cable to connect the
DPC-7.7’s ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUTs to a pair of
analog audio inputs on your stereo amp, as shown.
Note:
• When you use the analog audio outputs, don’t play
DTS CDs or don’t select DTS soundtracks on
DVD-Video discs. Doing so will produce unpleasant
digital noise, which may damage your equipment.
