Connecting to an Audio
Amplifier or Receiver
You will get better sound quality if you con-
nect the audio outputs of the RDV-985 to a
high quality amplifier or receiver and use
component loudspeakers, rather than those
built in to the television.
Connect the ANALOG OUTPUTS of the
RDV-985 to any high level input (such as AUX,
DVD, CD, etc.) of an amplifier or receiver.
Connecting to Audio
Equipment with a Digital Input
You can enhance the sound quality by con-
necting the DIGITAL OUTPUT
(optical) of
the RDV-985 to the digital input of an ampli-
fier, DAT or MD by using an optional digital
cable. The digital stereo audio signal from a
disc is directly transferred. If you connect the
unit to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an
amplifier with built-in decoder by using an
optional digital cable, you can enjoy high-
quality surround sound.
When you make the digital connection, also
make the analog connection, because, de-
pending on the disc type, no audio may be
reproduced from the DIGITAL OUTPUT.
With the digital connection, the unit’s settings
for COMPRESSION and DOWN MIX are
disabled. Settings for these items must be made
from the decoder.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 5.1 CHANNEL OPERATION:
If the “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” is not set correctly, loud noise may be generated from
speakers, possibly damaging them. Before using the RDV-985 in a 5.1 channel system, be
sure the proper type of Digital Audio Output has been selected. Use the following procedure.
While a DVD disc is loaded but not playing press the ON SCREEN button 23 to access
the Preference display screen. Use the / Cursor Buttons 7 to move to select
“PREFERENCE 2”. Use the / Cursor Buttons to select DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT. Use
the / Cursor Buttons to select “STREAM/PCM”. Press the ON SCREEEN button again to
close the Preferences display screen. See page 24 for more inofrmation.
