4Connections and SetupAudio Jacks and CablesAUDIO L (left) and R (right)These jacks send the audio from the disc you’re playing to the TV.The audio jacksand cables are often color-coded (red for right audio, and white for left audio).Youmust connect audio cables to the AUDIO L and R jacks on the DVD Player andthe corresponding Audio Input Jacks on the TV no matter which Video jack youconnect (VIDEO; S-VIDEO; or Y, Pb, Pr).If your component has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (whiteL/Mono) audio jack on the TV and don’t connect the right audio part of the cable.5.1CH AUDIO OUT jacks only will give you true DVD audio sound quality when playingDVD audio discs.DIGITAL OUT/OPTICAL and DIGITAL OUT/COAXIALUse one of these jacks to connect your DVD Player to a Dolby* Digital or DTSreceiver or decoder. Some receivers have either the COAXIAL or OPTICAL typeof Digital Audio Input jack, and some have both. Under most conditions, opticaland coaxial connections work equally well — the only difference is the type ofcable you connect to the jack.If you want to use a less expensive cable, connect a coaxial cable to the COAXIALjack if your receiver has a Coaxial Input Jack. Rarely, but sometimes, coaxial digitalcables — especially long ones, pick up radio frequency (RF) interference fromhousehold appliances, nearby power lines, and/or broadcast towers. If that is thecase, connect an optical cable (sometimes called SPDIF) to the DIGITALOUT/OPTICAL jack on the DVD Player and a compatible Digital Input OpticalJack on the receiver.5.1CH AUDIO OUTUse these audio jacks to connect your DVD Player to a home theatresystem.
