Safety Precautions (Continued)

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord
Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated

circuit;

That is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that appliance and
has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification
page of this owner's manual to be certain.

Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or dam­aged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged
or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions
could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of
your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deteriora­tion, unplug it,
discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an
exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.

Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as
being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay
particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the
cord exits the appliance.

CAUTION: The apparatus should not be exposed to water
(dripping or splashing) and no objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, should be placed on the apparatus.

Amplifier equipped with 2-channel digital stereo (PCM) or
audio / video receiver equipped with a multi-channel
decoder (Dolby Digital™, MPEG 2, or DTS): Connect one of

the DVD Player’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to the corresponding
in jack on your amplifier. Use an optional digital audio cable.

Digital Multi-channel sound

A digital multi-channel connection provides the best sound
quality. For this you need a multi-channel audio / video
receiver that supports one or more of the audio formats sup­ported by your DVD player such as MPEG 2, Dolby Digital and
DTS. Check the receiver manual and the logos on the front of
the receiver.

NOTES

•

If the audio format of the digital output does not match the
capabilities of your receiver, the receiver produces a strong,
distorted sound or no sound at all.

• Six Channel Digital Surround Sound via a digital connection
can only be obtained if your receiver is equipped with a
Digital Multi-channel decoder.

•To see the audio format of the current DVD in the on-screen
display, press AUDIO.

AUDIO

Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options. Set the
player’s AUDIO options according to the type of audio system
you use.

Dolby Digital / DTS / MPEG

Bitstream: Select “Bitstream” if you connect the DVD

Player’s DIGITAL OUT jack to an amplifier or other equip­ment with a Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG decoder.

PCM (for Dolby Digital / MPEG): Select when connected
to a two-channel digital stereo amplifier. DVDs encoded in
Dolby Digital or MPEG will be automatically downmixed to
two-channel PCM audio.

Off (for DTS): If you select “Off”, the DTS signal is not
output through the DIGITAL OUT jack.

Sample Freq. (Frequency)

If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling 96 KHz
signals, select 48 KHz. When this choice is made, this unit
automatically converts any 96 KHz signals to 48 KHz so your
system can decode them.

If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling 96 KHz sig­nals, select 96 KHz. When this choice is made, this unit
passes each type of signal through without any further
processing.

Check the documentation for your amplifier to verify its
capabilities.

DRC (Dynamic Range Control)

With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s soundtrack in
the most accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks
to digital audio technology. However, you may wish to
compress the dynamic range of the audio output
(the difference between the loudest sounds and the quietest
ones). This allows you to listen to a movie at a lower volume
without losing clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.
