Connecting the DPS-5.9—Continued
Notes:
• Make sure that the Digital/HDMI Audio Out setting
on the Audio menu is set to All (see page 47). Other-
wise, you won’t get surround sound.
• Also refer to the connection information supplied with
your AV receiver or decoder.
• When playing Dolby Digital or DTS source material,
be sure to select Dolby Digital or DTS decoding,
respectively, on your AV receiver or decoder. See the
relevant manuals.
•You can experience Dolby Digital only with DVDs
that bear the Dolby Digital logo. Likewise, you can
experience DTS only with DVDs or CDs that bear the
DTS logo.
This section explains how to connect the DPS-5.9 to a
stereo amp for better sound quality than that of most
TVs. This is ideal for playing your audio CDs and MP3/
WMA discs in the DPS-5.9. DVD-Video discs will
sound better too.
Analog Connection
Use an RCA audio cable to connect the DPS-5.9’s ANA-
LOG AUDIO OUTPUTs to a pair of analog audio inputs
on your stereo amp, as shown.
Note:
• When you use the analog audio outputs, don’t play
DTS CDs or don’t select DTS soundtracks on
DVD-Video discs. Doing so will produce unpleasant
digital noise, which may damage your equipment.
Digital Connection
Use an optical (or coaxial) digital audio cable to connect
the DPS-5.9’s COAXIAL (or OPTICAL) DIGITAL
AUDIO OUTPUT to an optical (or coaxial) input on
your stereo amp, as shown.
Notes:
• Be sure to set the Audio menu, Digital/HDMI Audio
Out setting to “PCM” (see page 47). Otherwise an
unpleasant digital noise may be heard, which may
damage your equipment.
• When the Audio menu, Digital/HDMI Audio Out set-
ting is set to “PCM,” Dolby Digital signals will be
converted and output as PCM. DTS signals will not be
output at all.
•Never connect the DPS-5.9 to the AC-3RF input on a
Dolby Digital receiver. The AC-3RF format is not sup-
ported by the DPS-5.9.
