≥
Do not bend the optical digital audio cable when connecting it.
When you have finished connection
≥
Make changes to “7 Digital Audio Output” to suit your decoder (
➡
page 37).
§
If this is set to “No”, no audio will be output when DVDs recorded in 96 kHz linear PCM are played. (Audio will be output as it is if the DVD does not
have copyright protection recorded on it.)
≥
These changes to digital audio output must be made, otherwise bitstream signals the decoder cannot handle will be output. If these
signals are output, “noise” will be output which can cause harm to your ears and speakers.
≥
In “8 Speaker Setting”, select “2 2-channel” (
➡
page 39).
Note
≥
You cannot use DTS Digital Surround decoders not suited to DVD.
