Audio Connections
This player features two digital (optical and coaxial) and
also analog audio output formats.
Digital Audio Connections
You can enjoy the digital audio recorded on discs from
both optical digital and coaxial digital output jacks.
When making digital audio connections, do not
make connections from both the coaxial and optical
digital outputs to the same component.
When a DVD recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG is
loaded, noise will be output if you have made
connections via the digital audio jacks to a receiver or
amplifier that cannot decode a Dolby Digital, DTS, or
MPEG digital bitstream. In this case, be sure to set up
the Setup Navigator audio settings to best reflect the
type of system you are using (page 23). Additionally, the
digital audio settings can be adjusted manually in the
Setup screen Audio 1 menu (pages 30–31).
DIGITAL OUT (Optical)
The digital signal is transmitted as light pulses through a
fiber-optic cable.
• Use to connect to an AV amplifier or receiver with
built-in Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder.
• Use a fiber-optic cable (not supplied) to connect the
DIGITAL OUT OPT (digital optical output) on the
player to the digital optical input on an AV amplifier or
receiver.
DIGITAL OUT (Coaxial)
The digital signal is transmitted electronically through a
coaxial cable.
• Use to connect to an AV amplifier or receiver with
built-in Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder.
• Use a coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the
DIGITAL OUT COAX (coaxial digital output) on the
player to the coaxial digital input on an AV amplifier or
receiver.
