NOTES (for Method 2 only):
• When using an AV amplifier with a built in decoder (AV control centre), Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder as shown in
the Method 2, set “DOLBY DIGITAL”, “DTS” or “MPEG” to “ON” accordingly for audio output in the setup mode. (Refer to
page 24.) Set it to “OFF” for the decoder that is not used currently. Playing a DVD using incorrect settings may generate
noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers.
• The audio source on a disc in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD
deck or DAT deck.
• Set “DOLBY DIGITAL”, “DTS” or “MPEG” to “OFF” for audio output in the setup mode for connecting to an MD deck or DAT
deck. (Refer to page 24.)
• Harsh noise that could harm your ears or the speakers is generated when a DVD recorded in DTS is played while using a
decoder, etc., that is not DTS-compatible.
• When playing a copyright-protected 96 KHz linear PCM DVD, the digital sound will be down sampled at 48 KHz, even if you
set “LPCM SELECT” to “OFF”.
• No audio signals are output from the DVD-550 SD’s “AUDIO OUT” connector when discs recorded in DTS are played.

• Method 3 DVD Player + TV with AV1 Jack or TV with Component Video Jacks
NOTES:
• Connect the DVD player directly to a TV. If the A/V cables are connected to a VCR, pictures may be distorted due to the
copy protection system.
• S-Video output connector
The video signals are divided into colour (C) and brightness (Y) signals, achieving a clearer picture.
If the TV is equipped with a S-Video input connector, we recommend connecting it to the this product’s S-Video output connector using a commercially available S-Video connection cord.
HOW TO CONNECT TO A TV WITHOUT AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT JACKS
If your TV does not have RCA type audio and video input jacks it is still possible to connect this DVD
player to your TV’s 75-ohm coaxial antenna terminal using an optional Stereo Audio/Video RF Modulator, not included. Connect the audio and video outputs of the DVD player to the audio and video inputs on the RF Modulator, and
then connect the coaxial output of the RF Modulator (usually marked “TO TV”) to the 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal on your TV. Follow the instruction supplied with the RF Modulator for more details.
If your TV’s 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal is already occupied by an antenna or cable box connection, remove that
cable from your TV’s antenna terminal and reconnect it to the coaxial antenna input terminal of the RF Modulator
(usually marked “ANT IN”), then connect the RF modulator to your TV’s antenna terminal as described above.
NOTE
• The picture quality from DVD discs will not be as good if the DVD player is connected to the TV’s antenna terminal
through an RF Modulator.
