channels when you play a DVD which has rear
sound elements (channels) or is recorded in Dolby
Digital format. For details on the rear signal
components, see “4. Displaying the Playing Time
and Play Information” on page 34. This function
affects the output of the following jacks:
– LINE 2 OUT R-AUDIO-L jacks
– LINE 1 – TV jack
– LINE 3 jack
– DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL)/
HDMI OUT (RDR-HXD910 only) jack when
“Dolby Digital” is set to “D-PCM” (page 97).
Audio Connection
The following setup items switch the method of
outputting audio signals when you connect a
component such as an amplifier (receiver) with a
digital input jack.
For connection details, see “Step 4: Connecting
the Audio Cords” on page 20.
Select “Dolby Digital,” “MPEG,” “DTS,”
“48kHz/96kHz PCM,” and “Audio(HDMI)”
(RDR-HXD910 only) after setting “Digital Out”
to “On.”
If you connect a component that does not accept
the selected audio signal, a loud noise (or no
sound) will come out from the speakers, and may
affect your ears or cause speaker damage.
