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 opticat/coaxial digital audio output
I connector:
•When connecting an amplifier (with an pptical/co-
axial digital Input connector) which does not con-
i
tain the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or dts decoder, be
i sure to select “PCM ’ at “2 Dolby Digital” and “Off”
I at “3 dts” of the initial setting “7 Digital Audio Out­
put”. (See page 42.)
•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.
