(They do not output the DTS sound.) By hooking the player up to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy a more convincing, realistic ambience with powerful and high-quality surround sound of a professional standard, which can be heard in movie theaters.

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 TV's 75-ohm coaxial antenna terminal using a commercially available Stereo Audio/Video RF Modulator that is not included. 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 TV's 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal is already occupied by an antenna or cable box connection, remove that cable from your TV's antenna terminal and reconnect it to the coaxial antenna input terminal of the RF Modulator (usually marked "ANT IN"), then connect the RF modulator to your TV's 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 TV's antenna terminal through an RF Modulator. HINT FOR OPTICAL CABLE (NOT SUPPLIED) ¡Optical cable (not supplied) may be damaged when bent at acute angles. Ensure cables are coiled in loops with a diameter of 6 inches or more when storing them. ¡Use a cable which is 9.8 feet or shorter. ¡Insert cable plugs firmly into the jacks when making connections. ¡If a plug has minor scratches or is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth before inserting it into a jack. ¡Replace the protective cap on the OPTICAL jack when it is not in use. ­ 13 ­ EN 1L25 PLAYING A DISC PLAYING A DVD VIDEO OR AN AUDIO CD DVD-A DVD-V DVD-RW CD VCD ¡If a disc is dirty or has scratches, the pictures may Getting started Turn on the power of the TV, amplifier and any other components which are connected to the DVD player.
