To connect to audio equipment with a digital input
Connection to an amplifier/receiver with digital input, Dolby Digital decoder/amplifier with
built-in Dolby Digital decoder, or an amplifier with built-in DTS and Dolby Digital decoder
You can enhance the sound quality by connecting the unit’s DIGITAL OUT (optical) with the digital input of an
amplifier, DAT or MD by using a digital cable. The digital stereo audio signal from a disc is directly transferred. And,
if you connect with a Dolby Digital decoder or an amplifier with built-in Dolby Digital decoder by using an optional
digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality audio and surround sound. The unit also is compatible with the DTS
function. When you make a digital connection, leave the 2 channel analog audio connection as it is. Otherwise,
depending on the disc type, no audio may be reproduced.
¶ When you connect the audio equipment with a digital input, before using, change the “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT”
setting in the “PREFERENCE 2” on-screen display according to the connected audio equipment with a digital
input. When the “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” setting is not set correctly, loud noise may be played back from
speakers, and it cause of the breakdown of your speakers. See “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” on page 54.
¶ With this connection, the unit’s settings for COMPRESSION, and DOWN MIX are invalid. Settings for these
items must be made from the decoder.
• For digital connection, connect the unit’s DIGITAL OUT (optical) to the digital input of a Dolby Digital decoder or an
amplifier with built-in Dolby Digital decoder using an optional digital cable.
