■ Upgrading your television
•You can connect CRT projectors, LCD projectors, and projection
televisions.
• See “Connection to a television” (^ pages 9 to 11) for details on
connection.
•The equipment connections described are examples. The
illustrations on pages 33, 35 and 36 use DVD-RV40 as an
example, and on pages 34 use DVD-RV20 as an example.
•Additional equipment and cables are not supplied.

For your reference
• Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed
by Dolby Laboratories.
Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2-
channel) sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound
data to be efficiently recorded on a disc.
• DTS Digital Surround is a 5.1-channel surround sound system,
which is widely used in movie theaters around the world. The
separation between channels is good and provides a very real
surround effect.
• Linear PCM is an uncompressed digital audio signal. While a CD is
recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, a DVD is recorded in 48 kFlz/16 bit up
to 96 kFlz/24 bit. Therefore, the sound reproduced with these
signals is potentially better than that found on CDs. This player
reproduces linear PCM in 2-channel.
• Bitstream is a compressed digital audio signal. This signal can be
decoded into different channels to produce, for instance, 5.1-
channel surround sound.
•The digital audio output terminal (optical) converts electrical
signals into optical signals and transfers them to an amplifier.
These optical signals are immune to electrica! interference, and
they also have minimal effect on other equipment.
