DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
To connect the unit’s digital
output to an external device
equipped with a digital input,
this item must be set correctly.
See the table following for
details about the relation
between the setting and
output signals.
• PCM ONLY
Should be selected when you connect the DIGITAL
OUT jack of the unit to the linear PCM digital input of
other audio equipment.
• When playing a DVD VIDEO or
Audio CD disc with DTS, use a DTS
decoder to get correct signals from
your speakers.
• With some DVD VIDEO discs that
are not fully copy-protected, a 20
or 24 bit digital signal may be
output.
• A signal recorded with the 88.2 kHz
or higher sampling frequency
cannot be output from the DIGITAL
OUT jack, regardless of the setting
(due to copy protection issues).
• DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM
Should be selected when you connect the digital
input of a Dolby Digital decoder or an amplifier with
a built-in Dolby Digital decoder.
When this option is selected, playing back a disc
recorded by the DTS or MPEG Multichannel format
outputs a linear PCM digital signal.
• STREAM/PCM
Should be selected when you connect the digital
input of an amplifier with a built-in DTS, MPEG
Multichannel or Dolby Digital decoder, or the stand-
alone unit of such a decoder.

ANALOG OUT
To play back a DVD VIDEO
disc recorded with surround
multichannel audio correctly,
this setting must be properly
made according to your audio
system.
• 2-CH DOLBY SURROUND
Should be selected when you enjoy multichannel
surround audio by connecting the unit’s AUDIO OUT
jacks to a surround decoder.
• This function does not work when
the 3D PHONIC function is
activated (see page 41).
• [2-CH DOLBY SURROUND] and
[2-CH STEREO] settings affect only
the output signal from the AUDIO
OUT jacks when playing back a
DVD VIDEO disc recorded with
surround multichannel audio.
• Some DVD AUDIO discs prohibit
the 2-channel down-mix. For such
a disc, you cannot get the down-
mixed signal even if you set
[ANALOG OUT] to [2-DOLBY
SURROUND] or [2-CH STEREO].
• 2-CH STEREO
Should be selected when you enjoy conventional 2-
channel stereo audio by connecting the unit’s AUDIO
OUT jacks to a stereo amplifier/receiver or television
set, or when you duplicate audio of a DVD VIDEO
disc recorded with surround audio to your MD,
cassette, etc.
• MULTI CHANNEL
When you enjoy multichannel surround audio by
connecting the unit’s 5.1-channel audio outputs to an
amplifier equipped with 5.1-channel inputs.
