Connecting a DVD-Video Player (Digital Audio and Component Video)
This configuration shows a DVD-Video player connection where the audio output from the
DVD player is taken from the digital output (Coaxial or Optical) and video output is taken from
the Component Video outputs (the Red/Blue/Green trio).
When you select DVD on the DMC-1, the audio output from the DVD player will play through
the audio system and video will appear on the TV or projector (you must first select the correct
input on the TV). This method will give the best picture quality and enable the discrete en-
coded Dolby or DTS audio to be decoded by the DMC-1.
DIGITAL audio connections are necessary to
decode surround sound encoded material such
as Dolby Digital or DTS. Use Coaxial (shown)
or Optical cables
