This method allows you to enjoy multi-channel surround 
sound on DVD-Video.

Using an Audio Cable for Better Sound

 Adjust settings in “Digital Audio Output” (

¼

 65).

Use this connection to play sound through speakers 
connected to an amplifi er or system component.

 You can improve sound quality by connecting this unit 

to an amplifier or system component using the audio 
cable or the optical digital audio cable.

 Notes

 When this unit is connected to an amplifi er with an optical 

digital audio cable and connected to a television with an HDMI 
cable, you can enjoy the highest quality of audio from the disc 
by setting “Digital Audio Output” to “Optical Only” in the Setup 
Menu (

¼

 67).

In this case audio is only output from the amplifi er not the television.

 You cannot use DTS Digital Surround decoders not meant for DVD.

 Before purchasing an optical digital audio cable, check the 

terminal shape of the equipment to be connected.
