(4) Connecting to a AV amplifier with a Built-in decoder
When DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS are played, Dolby Digital or DTS bitstream signals are output from
the DVD player’s digital audio output connectors. If a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder is connected, you can
achieve sound with the power and sense of presence of a movie theater or concert hall.

Dust cap
Line up in proper direction
Remove the dust cap, line up the cable in the proper
directly, then insert it securely as far as it goes.
NOTE:
• Store the dust cap in a safe place, and be careful
not to lose it.
When not using the terminal, attach the cap to
protect the terminal from dust.
NOTES:
• Harsh noise that could harm your ears or damage the speakers is generated when a DVD recorded in DTS
is played while using a decoder, etc., that is not DTS-compatible.
• When playing copyright-protected linear PCM or packed PCM DVDs, in consideration of copyrights, no
digital signals are output for sources exceeding 48 kHz/16 bits. When playing such sources, either set
“LPCM (44.1 kHz/48 kHz)” under “AUDIO SETUP” at “SETUP” to “ON” (see page 18) or make analog
connections. (See page 9.)
• When making digital connections to an AV amplifier that is not compatible with 96 kHz/88.2 kHz signals,
set “LPCM (44.1 kHz/48 kHz)” under “AUDIO SETUP” at “SETUP” to “ON”. (See page 18.)

Settings
*1 Only 48 kHz/16-bit sources are output.
*2 Only 44.1 kHz/16-bit sources are output.
• Down-mixed to 2 channels for multi-channel PCM sources. (Only the front left and right channels are output
for sources for which down-mixing is prohibited.)
• When “OFF” is selected, digital signals are not output from the digital audio output at this time.
• Linear PCM audio is a signal recording format used for music CDs.
While signals are recorded at 44.1 kHz/16 bit for music CDs, for DVDs they are recorded at 44.1kHz/16bit to
192kHz/24 bit, providing higher sound quality than music CDs.
• Packed PCM signals are high sound quality compressed PCM signals that are decompressed with virtually no
loss of data.
