Connecting to an Amplifier
(To Enjoy the Sound Advantage of the DVD Player)
Before connecting
• Refer to the instruction manual of the amplifier.
• 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.
Notes
• The remote controller supplied with Onkyo amplifier can be used
to operate the DVD player.
• The function of the upper and lower z connectors are the same.
Connect to either one.
• Connecting z cable only does not make the system operational.
You must also connect the audio cables as well.
• For remote control operation, the audio connection cables must
also be connected.
■ Making a digital connection with the
amplifier
If your amplifier has a digital input jack, be sure to connect
it to either DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL jack
on the DVD player.
Notes
• DO NOT connect to the AC-3RF input (e.g. of a Dolby Digital
receiver) which is reserved only for video disc players.
■ Making the analog connection with the
amplifier
If your amplifier has no digital audio input, you can make
the analog connection. If the amplifier has a Dolby Pro
Logic decoder, you can reproduce the Dolby Pro Logic
surround sound.

Digital/DTS/MPEG1/MPEG2
decoder or 2 channel digital

Although you can reproduce the DVD Player’s sound from the TV speakers with the connections on the opposite page,
connecting with an amplifier provides you high quality dynamic sounds.
To reproduce Dolby Digital surround, MPEG1 audio, MPEG2 audio, and DTS surround sound, you need to connect to an
amplifier with a Dolby Digital, MPEG1 audio, MPEG2 audio, and DTS decoder respectively.
