When the player is connected to an AV amplifier with 5.1 channel input connectors, theatre quality

audio could be enjoyed at your home at the time of playing disc recorded in Dolby digital, MPEG1/2

audio or linear PCM.

The "S/PDIF" specifications allow several different types of cables and connectors which must

match the device being used. Key words for the electrical type are "coaxial" and "RCA jack." The

other type is called "optical" with the word "TOSLINK" often used.

1. Insert the audio plug into the orange socket on the rear side of the device (right from the

English

HDMI jack), marked with the label “COAXIAL”.

2. Plug the Audio jack into the corresponding socket on your playback device or your amplifier.

Notes:

1. The cable is not part of the accessories.

2. Choose right audio setting for this player according to your audio system requirement after

connection is made.

3. If the type of the speaker connected does not satisfy the channels recorded in a MPEG-2 or

Linear PCM disc, the disc will not be played in all channels but only in 2 channels (i.e. even

if the front speakers and the centre speakers are connected, a disc recorded in 5.1

channels will be played only in 2 channels.
