ENGLISH DV30 HDMI connections HDMI (High-Definition Multi-Media Interface) is a digital connection that can carry both audio and video in one cable. Direct digital transfer of video and support for various types of High Definition video content make this the best connection type for picture quality. TV or Monitor with HDMI input 1 As HDMI can carry both digital audio and video, HDMI can also be used to connect to AV receivers that support this function to allow decoding of surround-sound, etc.
Audio connections Three types of audio connection can be made between the Sonata DV30 and your stereo or AV system: Right speaker Powered Subwoofer Left speaker 1 Analogue stereo (with or without subwoofer) The Sonata DV30 is capable of playing Dolby Digital or LPCM soundtracks itself and outputting these as analogue 2.1. To connect to a stereo receiver (such as the matching AR30 or DR30) or amplified speaker system, use stereo phono/RCA cables as shown.
ENGLISH DV30 Surround-sound formats Via its analogue outputs, the DV30 can play back CDs and DVDs in stereo or 2.1 output when they have been encoded with Dolby Digital (5.1), Dolby Digital EX (6.1), ProLogic II or IIx, or LPCM soundtracks. In all cases, the DV30 will decode the soundtrack and output it as 2.1 (stereo plus sub). Because it is a stereo unit, it cannot decode to 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 outputs.
Video formats DVD player setup Press Setup on the remote control to enter the DV30 Setup menus: DVDs are encoded using the MPEG 2 lossy video format giving over two hours of highquality digital video on single layer discs or over four hours on dual-layer discs.
