• Be sure that the colours of the jacks and plugs match up when using a VIDEO/AUDIO cable (supplied for
Middle East only).
• Be sure to keep the Player connection cables separate from the TV antenna cable when you install the
Player, because it may cause electrical interference when you are watching television programs.

Digital Connection to an MD to Record a CD
Some Audio CDs and VIDEO CDs have a short silent section between musical tracks. When sound from discs
such as these is digitally recorded by connecting the Player directly to a digital recorder (such as an MD player),
the music may be recorded continuously and track numbers may be lost.
■ Digital Connection to Audio Equipment or MD Player without a Dolby Digital Decoder
• Audio CD or VIDEO CD
Play the disc as you normally would, with the audio mode set to “L+R” (see page 65). With a digital
connection, audio of a disc recorded with DTS sounds abnormal in this case.
•DVD
With a digital connection, audio cannot be produced from a DVD recorded with Dolby Digital (5.1 channel),
Dolby Surround (Pro Logic), DTS or MPEG Audio, so you should use an analogue connection to play such
discs. Discs with linear PCM audio should play normally.
