Connecting to Audio Equipment
You can enjoy high quality dynamic sounds by connecting the player to audio
equipment.
Warning
• When you are connecting (via the BITSTREAM/PCM
(DIGITAL) AUDIO OUT jack) an AV decoder that does
not have Dolby Digital, Digital Theater Systems (DTS) or
MPEG2 decoding function, be sure to set “Audio Out
Select” to “PCM” from the on-screen displays

.
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 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 player.
Notes
• DO NOT connect the BITSTREAM/PCM (DIGITAL)
AUDIO OUT jack of the 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
player.
• Connect the BITSTREAM/PCM (DIGITAL) AUDIO OUT
jack of the 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 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 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
player’s power cord. If you leave the amplifier power on,
the speakers may be damaged.
