and Dolby ® Digital 5.1/Surround is selected in the menu (NOT 2.0)
2. If you get no sound out of the digital outputs, you may need to activate
the digital output circuit in the setup menu of your DVD player.

If your DVD player has no digital audio output, we highly
suggest that you upgrade to one that does. Otherwise,
connect the analog left and right RCA output to the Analog
2 RCA inputs on the MAINstage. If that input is in use,
connect to Analog 1 using stereo 1/8” mini-jack to RCA pair
Y-adapter. (i.e., Radio Shack #42-2550 or longer
6-ft version #42-2551.)
