from the DIGITAL OUT COAXIAL or
OPTICAL connectors.
Cinemalink interconnection plug & playback will
enable the AV system to recognise the users
intention and automatically switch the necessary
controls or input source accordingly.This will
reduce the necessity of having multiple control
inputs for all AV equipments (eg.TV and
Amplifier).
If your receiver has a MPEG 2 or Dolby
Digital™ decoder,
1
2
Connect the COAXIAL or OPTICAL DIGITAL
AUDIO OUT of the DVD player to the
