Enjoying digital audio output from the
digital audio output connector
Notes when connecting the optical digital audio cable
(optional)
• Remove the dust protection cap from the optical digital audio
output connector and connect the cable firmly so that the
configurations of both the cable and the connector match,
• Keep the dust protection cap and, to protect against dust, al­
ways reattach the cap when not using the connector.
•Sound from the microphone will not be output from the digital
audio output connector.

Note:
•Some dts decoders which do not support DVD-dts interface
may not work properly with the DVDA/ideo CD/CD player.
For your reference:
• Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a digital sound compression tech­
nique developed by the Dolby Laboratories, Inc.
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.
• Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in a CD. While
a CD is recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, a DVD is recorded in
48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit.
• If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will
obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD mov­
ies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as
well as from titles with the Dolby Surround mark.
Caution for the optical digital audio output con­
nector:
•When connecting an amplifier (with an optical dig­
ital input connector) which does not contain the
Dolby Digital (AC-3) or dts decoder, be sure to se­
lect “PCM ’ at “2 Dolby Digital” and “Off” at “3 dts”
of the initial setting ““7 Digital Audio Output”.
(See page 48.)
•Otherwise any attempt to play DVDs may cause such a
high level of noise that it may be harmful to your ears
and damage your speakers.
•Video CDs and CDs can be played as they would nor­
mally be played.
