Preparation
(continued)
*To use the optical digital output, use an
optical cable to connect this jack to an optical
audio input on a device capable of processing
Dolby Digital, DTS bitstream, or PCM audio.
Sound can output from connected audio system.
If you made the HDMI connection between the player and a TV, this step is unnecessary. Skip to Step 3.
Via HDMI output
You can enjoy the benefi ts of Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby TrueHD by connecting the HDMI OUTPUT jack of your player
to an AV receiver with an HDMI audio input.
This connection requires selection of “Digital Out HDMI” (Step 16,
page 22).
Via optical digital audio output
You can listen to down-converted Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD as well as Dolby Digital and DTS using a receiver
with Dolby Digital and DTS decoding capabilities and an optical digital input.
This connection requires selection of “Digital Out SPDIF” (Step 16,
page 22).
Caution
• When you are connecting (via the HDMI OUTPUT
jack) an AV decoder that does not have Dolby
Digital or DTS decoding capability, be sure to
set “Digital Out HDMI” (
page 22) to “PCM”
or “Downmixed PCM”. Otherwise, high volume
sound may damage your hearing as well as the
speakers.
Note
• You may need to adjust the HDMI audio output
to match the capabilities of your AV amplifi er. In
this case, set “Digital Out HDMI” (
page 22) to
“PCM”.
