You can connect the DVD player to your AV receiver
using the 2-channel analog audio output or one of the
digital audio outputs.

Digital Audio Output Connection
Connect one of the DVD player’s DIGITAL AUDIO
OUTPUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jacks to the
corresponding jack on your AV receiver.

match the capabilities of your amplifier, the ampli-
fier will produce a strong, distorted sound or no
sound at all.
•To see the audio format of the current disc in the
on-screen display, press AUDIO.

decoding of a DTS sound track. To enjoy DTS
multi channel surround, you must connect this
unit to a DTS compatible AV receiver via one of
this unit’s digital audio outputs.

and DTS, see page 22.

output to your AV receiver and connect the AV receiver’s
video output to a video input on your TV.
You can use any of the DVD player’s video outputs. Typ-
ically, you must use the same type of video cable to con-
nect your DVD player to your AV receiver as you do to
