5.1 Ch a n n e l Su rro u n d Ho o ku p s  
With DVDs which contain DTS, Dolby Digital or MPEG  
audio sound, you can enjoy the surround sound while  
producing the effect of being in a movie theater or a  
concert hall using a digital component with a built-in  
DTS, Dolby Digital or MPEG decoder (not supplied). The  
player outputs the surround sound signals from the  
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.  
Using a receiver (amplifier) having the OPTICAL or  
COAXIAL connector and 6 speakers, you can enjoy even  
greater real audio presence in the comfort of your own  
home.  
Se t u p s fo r t h e p la ye r  
Some setup adjustments are necessary for the player  
depending on the components to be connected.

If the DVD is recorded in multiple audio formats (PCM,  
Dolby Digital, MPEG or DTS), you can select the audio  
format you want while playing the DVD.  
With multiplex CDs or VIDEO CDs, you can select the

Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms to 5.1-  
channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and  
there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format.  
Dolby Digital provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of  
high quality digital audio found in Dolby Digital cinema  
audio systems. Good channel separation is realized  
because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and  
processed in digital.  
See page 7.  
* The signals from AUDIO OUT connectors are measured. When you  
play PCM sound tracks with a 96 kHz sampling frequency, the  
output signals from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL, COAXIAL) are  
converted to 48 kHz (sampling frequency).  
Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.

worldwide standards of digital compression technology.  
The picture data is compressed to about 1/ 40 of its  
original size. The DVD also uses a variable rate coding  
technology that changes the data to be allocated according  
to the status of the picture.
