Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Panasonic dvd-lv57 portable dvd player

Connect the mini-jack connector end of the audio cable to the Audio Output jack on right-hand side of Panasonic DVD-LV57 portable DVD player. This jack is the last one on the right-hand side, closest to the hinge.
Step 3

Run the audio cable to the 2-channel amplifier. Put the red plug in the right input and the white plug in the left input. If your 2-channel amplifier has a line in feature, take advantage of it.
Step 4

Step 5

Push the V.S.S button on the remote control to set the virtual sound simulation. This will simulate a surround sound effect even if you are using just 2 speakers.

Tips & Warnings

If your 2-channel amplifier has Dolby Pro Logic or other sound modeling effects enabled, do not use V.S.S. The Panasonic DVD-LV57 portable DVD player’s effects will not work properly.
You will need an audio cable that has a stereo mini-jack which runs signal to 2 connectors. You may need to get adaptors to make your connections work.
