Otherwise, high volume sound may damage your
hearing as well as the speakers.
• When playing DTS-encoded discs (audio CDs),
excessive noise may be output from the analog audio
output jacks. To avoid possible damage to the audio
system, you should take proper precautions when the
analog audio output jacks of the DVD video player are
connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS
Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1 channel
DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must be
connected to the BITSTREAM/PCM (DIGITAL) AUDIO
OUT jack of the DVD video player.
Notes
• DO NOT connect the BITSTREAM/PCM (DIGITAL)
AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD video player to the AC-3 RF
input of a Dolby Digital Receiver. This input on your A/V
Receiver is reserved for Laserdisc use only and is
incompatible with the BITSTREAM/PCM (DIGITAL)
AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD video player.
• Connect the BITSTREAM/PCM (DIGITAL) AUDIO OUT
jack of the DVD video player to the “DIGITAL (OPTICAL)”
or “DIGITAL (COAXIAL)” input of a Receiver or Processor.
• Refer to the owner’s manual of the connected equipment
as well.
• When you connect the DVD video player to other
equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all of
the equipment from the wall outlet before making any
connections.
• The output sound of the DVD video player has a wide
dynamic range. Be sure to adjust the receiver’s volume to
a moderate listening level. Otherwise, the speakers may
be damaged by a sudden high volume sound.
• Turn off the amplifier before you connect or disconnect the
DVD video player’s power cord. If you leave the amplifier
power on, the speakers may be damaged.
