Caution for optical digital audio output connector:
• When connecting an amplifier (with an Optical Digital Input Connector) which does not
contain the Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, be sure to select “PCM” at “Dolby Digital” and
“PCM” at “dts” in Settings for DVD Operation “Audio Output” (see p. 53).
Otherwise, any attempt to play DVDs may cause such a high level of noise that it may be
harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.
• When a Dolby Digital/DTS decoder is connected, please select “Bitstream” at “dts” or
“Dolby Digital” in Settings for DVD Operation “Audio Output”.
If “PCM” is selected, there will be stereo sound. (See p. 53.)
• Video CDs and CDs can be played as usual.
• Some DTS decoders which do not support DVD-DTS interface may not work properly with DECK.
Note
When DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS are played, Dolby Digital bitstream
or DTS bitstream is output from the DECK OPTICAL digital audio output connector.
When DECK is connected to a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver, you can enjoy
theater-quality audio in your home. [An optical digital audio cable (optional) is
required when an optional Dolby Digital or DTS receiver is used.]
