CONNECTIONS
The following show examples of connections commonly used to connect the DVD player to TV and other
components.
If using this DVD player to play back a DVD in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround or DTS surround format,
the DVD player outputs a Dolby Digital or DTS data stream from its OPTICAL or COAXIAL DIGITAL OUT jacks.
By hooking the player up to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy a more convincing, realistic ambi-
ence with powerful and high-quality surround sound of a professional standard, which can be heard in movie
theaters. Use an audio coaxial or optical digital cable (not included) for the audio connections.
NOTES:
• Be sure to turn off the power to 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.

• Optical cable (not supplied) may be damaged when bent at sharp angles. Ensure cables are coiled in loops with a diame-
ter of 6 inches (15cm) or more when storing them.
• Use a cable which is 9.8 feet (3m) or shorter.
• Insert cable plugs firmly into the connectors when making connections.
• If a plug has dust or is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth before inserting it into a connector.
