YAKUMO DVD TRAVELLER 8.0 ENGLISH
DESCRIPTION DOLBY DIGITAL CONNECTION
When a DVD disc recorded in Dolby Digital (AC-3) or MPEG audio is played, Dolby Digital bit
streams or MPEG audio bit streams are sent to the Coaxial or Optical digital audio output.
When the player is connected to a Dolby Digital or MPEG audio decoder system via this
connection, you can transfer the true 5.1CH digital audio tracks. A special coaxial or optical
cable is required (optional accessory).
Audio output from the coaxial digital audio output connector:

Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a digital sound compression technique developed by the Dolby
Laboratories Licensing Corporation. Dolby Digital is supporting 5.1-channel surround
sound as well as stereo (2ch) sound and enables a large quantity of sound data to be
efficiently recorded on a disc.
•
Linear Phase Code Modulation (LPCM) is a signal recording format used on CDs.
While CDs are recorded in 44.1kHz/16bit sound streams, DVDs are recorded in
48kHz/16bit up to 96kHz/24bit sound streams.
•
If you have a Dolby Digital Surround decoder, you will obtain the full benefit of Pro
Logic sound from the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital
soundtracks, as well from titles with the Dolby Surround logo.
Caution:
•
Do not connect to the coaxial or optical output connector to an amplifier which is not
compatible with this type of connection.
•
An attempt to play DVDs via an amplifier without the correct AC-3 or MPEG decoder,
may produce extreme levels of noise. This could damage your loudspeakers and your
ears.
