Connections with the TV or audio component
Connect to a stereo amplifier with audio output
You can enjoy high quality audio by connecting the audio output to your amplifier.
Connect the audio output jacks to any line-level inputs (such as AUX, DVD, CD, etc.) of an audio amplifier.
Connect to an AV Amplifier with built-in digital surround
If you are using an Amplifier with a built-in digital surround as follows, you can enjoy the various audio systems
such as Dolby Digital and DTS by using the optical or coaxial digital output.
Use this connection to connect an:
•AV amplifier with built-in *Dolby Digital decoder
•AV amplifier with built-in *DTS decoder
Connecting the optical digital cable
You may connect to an AV Amplifier with an optical digital cable (not supplied) instead of a coaxial digital
cable.
When you connect the optical digital cable (not supplied), remove the dust protection cap from the rear panel.
When not using the optical digital cable, attach the dust protection cap to protect against dust.
NOTES:
• When you make the connections above, do not set DOLBY DIGITAL to DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS to ON on the AV
amplifier. If you do, a loud noise will suddenly come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the
speakers to be damaged.
• Caution for the optical digital audio output connector: Do not connect to an amplifier (with an optical digital input
connector) which does not contain a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder. Otherwise, any attempt to play DVDs may
cause such a high level of noise that it may be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.
• DTS audio will be output only from the COAXIAL or OPTICAL output. To hear DTS audio, DTS-Decoder is
necessary.
• When playing DTS-encoded CDs, only noise will be heard from the speakers or analog stereo outputs.
• Some DTS decoders which do not support DVD-DTS interface may not work properly with the unit.
• The optical or coaxial digital output jack output sounds in the bitstream.
NOTE:
You may connect to a TV with a component
video cable (not supplied) or S-Video cable
