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 p. 50.)
*2 Sound having 96 KHz sampling is converted into 48 KHz sampling when it is output
from the DECK’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.
