Setup and Connections
Please Read This Before Using the
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT Jack!
This player’s digital output jack is
designed for a connection to a Dolby
Digital or DTS receiver or decoder.
Older digital equipment may not be
compatible with the Dolby Digital
bitstream. Such a connection can create
a high level of noise that may be harmful
to your ears, and could damage
headphones or speakers.
It is important to choose the correct
setting in the DVD Player’s Setup menu,
especially when you use the DIGITAL
AUDIO OUT jack.
If you are connecting your DVD Player
to a Dolby Digital receiver, choose the
Dolby Digital setting in the Audio
Equipment menu (within the Setup
menu). If you’re connecting your DVD
Player to a DTS receiver or decoder,
choose the DTS setting in the Audio
Equipment menu. For more information,
see Audio Equipment menu information
on p. 60.
Remove the Plastic Covers
If you’re using the DIGITAL AUDIO
OUT jack, check to see if there is a
protective cover inside of the jack and
on the ends of the optical digital cable.
You must remove these protective
covers before inserting the optical
digital cable into the jack.

To Connect the DVD Player

cable (not provided) to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack on the

Player and to the Video Input jack on your TV.
If your TV has an S-Video jack, connect the S-Video cable to the S-
VIDEO jack on your DVD Player and to the S-Video jack on your
DVD Player. If your TV doesn’t have an S-VIDEO jack, don’t
connect the S-Video cable.

line cord into the PHONE JACK on the back of your DVD Player.

insert the telephone line splitter into a phone jack.
If the telephone line cord doesn’t have a filter attached to it, just

other end into the telephone line splitter. Insert the telephone line
splitter into a phone jack.

Dolby Digital and DTS
Both Dolby Digital and DTS are audio formats used to record
5.1-channel, audio signals onto the digital track of film. Both of these
formats provide six separate channels: left, right, center, left rear, right
rear, and common subwoofer.
Remember, the disc will only play 5.1-channel sound if you’ve connected a
DTS or Dolby Digital receiver or decoder and if the disc was recorded in the
Dolby Digital or DTS format.
