Getting Started
5.1 Channel Surround Hookups
With DVDs which contain DTS, Dolby Digital or MPEG audio sound,
you can enjoy the surround sound while producing the effect of being
in a movie theater or a concert hall using a digital component with a
built-in DTS, Dolby Digital or MPEG decoder (not supplied). The
player outputs the surround sound signals from the OPTICAL OUT
connector.
Using a receiver (amplifier) having the OPTICAL OUT connector and
6 speakers, you can enjoy even greater real audio presence in the
comfort of your own home.
Note
When a DVD has a sound track with 7.1 channels recorded in MPEG audio format, the
output audio signals are mixed down to 5.1 channels.
Required cords
Optical digital connecting cord* (not supplied) (1)
S video cord (not supplied) (1)
* Connect the component via the OPTICAL OUT connector using an optical digital
connecting cord (not supplied). See the figure on the next page.
Notes
• Do not connect the power cord to an AC outlet before completing all connections.
• Refer to the instructions supplied with the component to be connected.
• The cord connectors should be fully inserted into the jacks. A loose connection may
cause hum and noise.
