CONNECTION AND
INITIAL SETTINGS

cable to a monaural TV that has only one AUDIO input jack.
•Make sure that colours of the jacks and plugs match up when connecting the cable.
•Connect the Product directly to the TV. If you attempt to view video on a TV connected via a VCR, the copy protection
function will scramble the picture.
•If you want to listen to the audio through audio equipment, connect only the VIDEO cable to the TV.

Some TVs and monitors are equipped with
input jacks for the component colour
signals (Y, PB(CB)and PR(CR)). By connect-
ing these input jacks to the corresponding
output jacks on the Product, you can enjoy
higher quality playback images.
If you are using a TV or monitor equipped
with Y, PB(CB)and PR(CR)jacks, use these
jacks rather than the S-VIDEO OUT jack.

Audio equipment
Playing Dolby Digital (5.1 channel), DTS or MPEG audio
Connecting an amplifier with a Dolby Digital/DTS/MPEG Audio digital surround processor or a Dolby Digital/
DTS/MPEG Audio surround processor to your Product’s coaxial digital jack provides richer and more powerful
audio play.
• This connection is not possible if the processor or amplifier to which you want to connect does not have a coaxial
digital input jack.
■Connection to a processor or amplifier with a coaxial digital input jack
DVD Audio Connections
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 Product 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 89). 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.
