Default DVD 5900 mod question

I want to mod my DVD-5900. The usual op amp swap, BlacK Gate cap replacement, FRED diodes, polypro on output and maybe signal resistor replacement(not sure about this since I can't figure out the best resistors to replace - Underwood mentions 22 resistors but I identify only 16 for sure - I'll save that for later).
My question is about the series caps on the audio out. Denon has two caps in a (- + + -) configuration. C698, C702 and C700, C704 on FL1 and FR1 respectively. Also they have a 470pf (or 4700pf, I have to verify) across each output (not visible in photo).
Should I replace the caps in the same configuration or use a single bipolar cap? What value? Any other changes recommended???

BTW I have the service manual and would be happy to send pieces of it to people. It is too big a file to send it all.
TIA

How big is the file for the service manual? I would like to upgrade my unit and it would be helpful to have the manual.

Thanks

You can completely eliminate the output dc-blocking caps, replacing with straigt wire. They are totally unnecessary.
The first thing you should do, though, is stock up on a few HOP1200S laser pickups(dalbani.com is where I bought them last). They are the second most failure-prone dvd lasers ever made, in my experience. Denon has no excuse for using the damn things in such expensive players.
