Digital Multi-channel sound
A digital multi-channel connection provides the best
sound quality. For this you need a multi-channel
Audio/Video receiver that supports one or more of the
audio formats supported by your DVD Player (MPEG 2,
Dolby Digital and DTS). Check the receiver manual and
the logos on the front of the receiver.
Caution:
Due to the DTS Licensing agreement, the digital output
will be in DTS digital out when DTS audio stream is
selected.
Notes
–
If the audio format of the digital output does not match
the capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will
produce a strong, distorted sound or no sound at all.
– Six Channel Digital Surround Sound via digital con-
nection can only be obtained if your receiver is
equipped with a Digital Multi-channel decoder.

– Refer to the owner’s manual of your audio system as
well.
– Before you connect the DVD player to other equip-
ment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all of

connections.
– If you place the DVD player near a tuner or radio, the

case, move the DVD player away from the tuner and
radio.

dynamic range. Be sure to adjust the receiver’s vol-
ume to a moderate listening level. Otherwise, the
speakers may be damaged by a sudden high volume
sound.
