Connecting to an Amplifier
(To Enjoy the Sound Advantage of the DVD Player)
Before connecting
• Refer to the instruction manual of the amplifier.
• When you connect the DVD Player to the amplifier, be sure to turn off
the power and unplug both units from the mains before making any
connections. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged.
• Connect the plugs securely.
■
Making a digital connection with
the amplifier
If your amplifier has a digital input jack, be
sure to connect it to either DIGITAL OUTPUT
OPTICAL or COAXIAL jack on the DVD player.
Note
DO NOT connect to the AC-3RF input (e.g. of a
Dolby Digital receiver) which is reserved only for
video disc players.
■
Making the analog connection
with the amplifier
If your amplifier has no digital audio input, you
can make the analog connection. If the
amplifier has a Dolby Pro Logic decoder, you
can reproduce the Dolby Pro Logic surround
sound.

Digital/DTS/MPEG1/MPEG2
decoder or 2 channel digital
stereo
Although you can reproduce the DVD Player’s sound from the TV speakers with the connections on the opposite page,
connecting with an amplifier provides you high quality dynamic sounds.
To reproduce Dolby Digital surround, MPEG1 audio, MPEG2 audio, and DTS surround sound, you need to connect to an
amplifier with a Dolby Digital, MPEG1 audio, MPEG2 audio, and DTS decoder respectively.
