The following shows examples of connections commonly used to connect the DVD player to TV and other
components.
If using this DVD player to play back a DVD in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channe! surround or DTS surround format, the
DVD player outputs a Dolby Digital or DTS data stream from its OPTICAL or COAXIAL DIGFAL OUT jacks.

with powerful and high-quality surrounding sound of a professional standard which can be heard in movie theaters.
Use a commercially available audio optical or coaxial digital cabte (not included) for the audio connections.
NOTES:
• Be sure to turn off the power of all components
in the system before connecting another component.
+Refer to the Instruction Manuals for your TV, stereo system and any other components
