Connecting the Player to audio equipment provides normal stereo sound plus
powerful stereo sound enhanced by Dolby Digital (5.1 channel), DTS and
MPEG Audio.

■ Analogue Connection

• When connecting to audio equipment, we recommend that you set the

“COMPRESSION (Dolby Digital Output Level)” to “OFF” (see page 48).

■ Digital Connection

Set the “

■ Digital Connection to Audio Equipment or MD Player without a Dolby

• Audio CD or VIDEO CD

Play the disc as you normally would, with the audio mode set to “L+R” (see
page 77). With a digital connection, audio of a disc recorded with DTS
sounds abnormal in this case.

• DVD Video Disc

The digital connection illustrated above shows connection to audio equipment
that is not equipped with a decoder. Because of this, it cannot produce 5.1
channel sound when playing a DVD whose audio track is recorded in Dolby
Digital (5.1 channel), Dolby Surround (Pro Logic), DTS or MPEG Audio. To play
the audio on such a DVD, you must configure a digital connection with an audio
processor or amplifier equipped with a decoder for the type of audio on the
DVD you are attempting to play. (See page 26.) If you do not have an audio
processor or amplifier equipped with the proper decoder, use a 2-channel
analogue (Down Mix) connection. (See pages 24 and 50.) Note that discs
recorded with Linear PCM audio should play normally using the digital
connection illustrated above.

When you are using a digital connection to record the contents of a CD to
an MD, the track numbers of the CD may not match the track numbers
recorded to the MD.

• Connecting an amplifier with a Dolby Digital/DTS/MPEG Audio digital surround

processor or a Dolby Digital/DTS/MPEG Audio digital surround decoder to
your Player’s optical digital jack provides richer, more powerful audio play.

• To use DTS digital surround, use the Disc Menu screen (page 92) or the

Function control screen (page 70) to select DTS audio.

Set the “

DIGITAL” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “BITSTREAM” (see page 50).

• To play a disc recorded with DTS, you need to use DTS processor or amplifier.

• This connection is not possible if the processor or amplifier to which you want to

connect does not have an optical digital input jack.

• Refer to the operation manual for the processor or amplifier for information about

connecting to it.

• Make sure that the Player’s power is turned off before attaching or detaching

the AC adapter.

• Use only the AC adapter specified for the Player. Use of another type of AC

adapter can cause damage to and malfunction of the Player.

• The AC adapter may become warm after long-term use. This is normal and

does not indicate malfunction.

• When not in use, be sure to unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet.
• Do not leave the AC adapter in areas subject to high humidity or dust. Such

conditions create the danger of fire and electric shock.

• Connecting the AC adapter to an electronic voltage transformer of the type widely

available at tourist shops can result in fire, electrical shock or other hazards.
