NOTES:  
The audio source on a disc in a 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD or DAT deck.  
Set Dolby Digital to off for audio output in the setup mode. Playing a DVD using incorrect settings may generate noise dis-  
tortion, and may also damage the speakers.(See page 13 to set ON for Dolby Digital)  
Connecting to a Dolby Digital decoder  
If using this DVD player to playback a DVD in a 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround, the DVD player outputs a Dolby Digital  
data stream from its COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack. By hooking the player up to a Dolby Digital decoder, you can enjoy  
a more convincing, realistic ambience with powerful and high-quality surround sound of a professional standard such as can  
be heard in movie theaters.  
Use an audio coaxial digital cables (commercially available) for the audio connections.

HOW TO CONNECT TO A TV WITHOUT AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT JACKS  
If your TV does not have RCA type audio and video input jacks it is still possible to connect this DVD player to your TVs 75-ohm coaxi-  
al antenna terminal using a commercially available Stereo Audio/Video RF Modulator. Connect the audio and video outputs of the DVD  
player to the audio and video inputs on the RF Modulator, and then connect the coaxial output of the RF Modulator (usually marked  
TO TV) to the 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal on your TV. Follow the instruction supplied with the RF Modulator for more details.  
If your TVs 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal is already occupied by an antenna or cable box connection, remove that cable from your  
TVs antenna terminal and reconnect it to the coaxial antenna input terminal of the RF Modulator (usually marked ANT IN), then con-  
nect the RF modulator to your TVs antenna terminal as described above.  
NOTE  
The picture quality from DVD discs will not be as good if the DVD player is connected to the TVs antenna terminal through an RF Modulator.
