Getting Started
5.1 Channel Surround Hookups
With DVDs which contain DTS, Dolby* Digital or MPEG
AUDIO sound, you can enjoy the sorround 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
OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
Using a receiver (amplifier) having the OPTICAL or
COAXIAL connector and the 5 (+1) speakers, you can
enjoy more real audio presence in the comfort of your
own home.

One for the LINE OUT (AUDIO 1, 2) jacks
