Notes on audio output from the optical digital
audio output connector
Enjoying digital audio output from the
digital audio output connector
*1 The type of audio output from the connector can be
selected by the Settings for DVD Operation. (See
page 60.)
*2 Sound having 96 kHz sampling is converted into 48
kHz sampling when it is output from the unit’s optical
digital audio output connector.
For your reference:
• Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique
developed by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing
Corporation. 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 CDs.
While CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, DVDs are
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 movies that provide full 5.1 channel Dolby Digital
soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby
Surround mark. For information on Panasonic or
Technics Dolby Pro Logic Surround Sound Decoders
please contact your local dealer.
