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

. 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 jack of the player.
Notes
• DO NOT connect the BITSTREAM/PCM 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 jack
of the player.
• Connect the BITSTREAM/PCM jack of the player to the
“DIGITAL (OPTICAL)” 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.
