Connecting the DV-SP303/DV-SP303E—Continued
Although you can reproduce the DVD Player’s sound
from the TV speakers with the connections on page 18,
connecting with an amplifier provides you high quality
dynamic sounds.
To reproduce Dolby Digital surround and DTS surround
sound, you need to connect to an amplifier with a Dolby
Digital and DTS decoder respectively.
Before connecting
• 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.
To enjoy surround sound you need to connect this player
to an AV receiver using a digital output.
Asian and Australian models have both coaxial and opti-
cal digital jacks; use whichever is convenient.
North American and European models have only coaxial
digital jack.
In addition to a digital connection, we recommend also
connecting using the stereo analog connection.
To record the audio from a CD-R disc etc. to a cassette
or CDR recorder that’s connected to the AV receiver, and
when your AV receiver has Zone2, you must connect the
DV-SP303/DV-SP303E’s analog audio outputs to the AV
receiver.
You’ll probably also want to connect a video output to
your AV receiver. You can use any of the video outputs
available on this player (the illustration shows a standard
(composite) connection).
1. Connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack on this
player to a digital input on your AV receiver.
Note:
• North American and European models have only
coaxial digital jack.
This enables you to listen to surround sound.
For an optical connection (Asian and Oceanian models
only), use an optical cable (not supplied) to connect the
“OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT” jack to an optical
input on your AV receiver.
For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable (similar to
the supplied video cable) to connect the “COAXIAL
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT” jack to a coaxial input on your
AV receiver.
2. Connect the ANALOG AUDIO OUT L/R and
VIDEO OUT jacks on this player to a set of ana-
log audio and video inputs on your AV receiver.
The diagram shows standard video connections, but you
can alternatively use the S-Video or component video
connections if they’re available.
3. Connect the AV receiver’s video output to a video
input on your TV.
Tip:
• You usually have to connect the same kind of video
cable between your DVD player and AV receiver, and
between your AV receiver and TV.
