of the DVD player.

outlet before making any connections.

Warning
• When you are connecting (via the COAXIAL DIGITAL
AUDIO OUT jack) an AV decoder that does not have Dolby
Digital, Digital Theater Systems (DTS) or MPEG2 decoding
function, be sure to set “Digital Output” to “PCM” from the
on-screen displays. Otherwise, high volume sound may
damage your hearing as well as the speakers.
• When playing DTS-encoded discs (DVDs and 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 DVD 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 COAXIAL DIGITAL
AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD player.
