Connection To An Audio System - Denon DVD-1920 Mode D'emploi

CONNECTIONS
The following shows examples of connections commonly used to connect the DVD player to TV and other com-
ponents. If using this DVD player to play back a DVD in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround or DTS surround
format, the DVD player outputs a Dolby Digital or DTS data stream from its OPTICAL or COAXIAL DIGITAL
OUT jacks. By connecting the player to a Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG decoder, you can enjoy more convinc-
ing, realistic ambience with powerful and high-quality surrounding sound of a professional standard which can
be heard in movie theaters. Use an Optical (commercially available) or Audio Coaxial Digital cable (commer-
cially available) for the audio connections.
NOTES:
Be sure to turn off the power to all components in the system before connecting another component.

Refer to the Instruction Manuals for your TV, stereo system and any other components to be connected to the
•
DVD player.

Connection to an Audio System

Method 1
Audio Input
AUDIO
Jacks
Audio cable
(supplied)
AUDIO OUT
DVD
(analog)
• Method 1 DVD Player + Stereo system
• Method 2 DVD Player + AV amplifier with a built in decoder (AV control center), Dolby Digital decoder, DTS decoder,
MPEG decoder, MD deck or DAT deck
NOTES (for Method 2 only):
• When using an AV amplifier with a built-in decoder (AV control center), Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder as shown in
the Method 2, set DOLBY DIGITAL, DTS or MPEG to BITSTREAM accordingly for audio output in the setup menu (refer to
page 29). Set it to PCM for the decoder that is not used currently. Playing back a DVD using incorrect settings may generate
noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers.
• The audio source on a disc in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD
deck or DAT deck.
• Set DOLBY DIGITAL, DTS and MPEG to PCM, for audio output in the setup menu for connecting to an MD deck or DAT
deck (refer to page 29).
• Harsh noise that could harm your ears or the speakers is generated when a DVD recorded in DTS is played back while
using a decoder, etc., that is not DTS-compatible.
• When playing back a copyright-protected 96kHz (88.2kHz) linear PCM DVD, the digital sound will be down sampled at
48kHz (44.1kHz), even if you set LPCM SELECT to OFF (refer to page 29).
• Super Audio CD sound is not output from the digital out.
Optical cable (commercially available)
• Optical cable (commercially available) may be damaged when bent at sharp angles. Ensure cables are coiled in loops with a
diameter of 15 cm or more when storing them.
• Use a cable which is 3m or shorter.
• Insert cable plugs firmly into the connectors when making connections.
• If a plug has dust or is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth before inserting it into a connector.
