Setting the digital output signal
Switches the method of outputting audio
signals when you connect a component such
as an amplifier (receiver) or MD deck with a
digital input jack.
For connection details, see page 17.
Select “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG,”
“DTS,” and “48kHz/96kHz PCM” after
setting “DIGITAL OUT” to “ON.”
If you connect a component that is
incompatible with the selected audio signal, a
loud noise (or no sound) may be heard from
the speakers, risking damage to your ears or
speakers.
