Using Digital Output (S/PDIF)

You can enjoy 5.1 channel surround sound by using the Headphone/S/PDIF jack.

Before You Start!

To listen to 5.1 channel surround sound, follow the procedures below.

■

Connect to a 5.1 channel speaker system using the Headphone/S/PDIF jack.

■

Select Digital Output (S/PDIF) in the DVD player program and play a DVD title.

What is Digital Output (S/PDIF)?

S/PDIF is a method to output digital sound and is also called Digital Output.

If you connect a 5.1 channel speaker system to the S/PDIF jack, you can enjoy audio without distortion since the signal is

transferred digitally.
5.1 channel surround sound consists of 6 speakers in total: center, front left/right, rear left/right, and woofer.

Since a woofer speaker is a special speaker for bass output only, we call the system a 5.1 channel system and a 6

channel system.
