Optional Audio connections
Concerning the audio output from the player's optical
coaxial digital audio output connector
*1 The type of audio output from the connector can be
selected by the initial settings.
*2 Sound having 96 kHz sampling is converted into 48
kHz sampling when it is output from the player's opti-
cal/coaxial digital audio output connector.
For your reference:
•
Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a digital sound compression
technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories Licens-
ing Corporation.
•
Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as ste-
reo (2-channel) sound, this technique enables a large
quantity of sound data to be efficiently recorded on a
disc.
•
Linear PCM is signal recording format used in a CD.
While a CD is recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, a DVD is
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 Sur-
round mark.
Caution for 5.1-channel speaker setup
•
Turn off the amplifier before you connect or disconnect
the DVD video player's power cord. If you have the
amplifier power on, the speakers may be damaged.
•
The output sound of the DVD video player has a wide
dynamic range. Be sure to adjust the receiver's
volume to a moderate listening level. Otherwise, the
speakers may be damaged by a sudden high volume
sound.
