Frequently asked questions
Refer to the following items if you have any doubts about unit
operations.
What equipment is necessary to play multi
channel surround sound?
¾ You cannot playback multi-channel sound on this unit without
other equipment. You must connect this unit with an HDMI
cable or an optical digital cable to an amplifier with a built-in
(Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG) decoder. (> 64)
Are the headphones and speakers directly
connected to the unit?
¾ You cannot directly connect them to the unit. Connect through
the amplifier etc. (> 64)
The television has both S VIDEO IN and
COMPONENT VIDEO IN terminals. Which terminal
should I connect with?
¾ Connecting with the component video out terminal provides a
more vivid picture compared to connecting with the S Video out
terminal.
If you have an LCD/plasma television or LCD projector
compatible with progressive scan, connect through the
component video terminals for high-quality progressive video.
If you have a CRT television or a multi system television using
PAL mode that is compatible with progressive scan, we cannot
recommend progressive output as some flickering can occur.

Is my television progressive output compatible?
