Digital connections
Make digital connections from the DVD Player to an AV
component that features digital input capability or one
or more multi-channel audio decoders to realize the full
cinematic experience made possible by the DVD format.
This DVD Player features two sets of optical and coaxial
digital audio output jacks and can output Dolby Digital,
DTS, and MPEG2* bitstreams as well as outputting
standard PCM.
Make connections from the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL
CH1 or CH2 jacks to the digital optical input jack on the
AV component using an optical fiber cable (sold
separately). Make connections from the DIGITAL OUTPUT
COAXIAL CH1 or CH2 jacks to the digital coaxial input
jack on the AV component using a coaxial cable (sold
separately). It is not necessary to make more than one
type of digital connection to a single component.
When you are making connections to an amp or
receiver that has internal Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG*
decoding capabilities, set Audio Out Select to
“Bitstream” using the on-screen menu explained in
“Customizing the Function Settings” starting on page 46.
See page 48 for direct information.
Making MULTI CHANNEL OUTPUT connection
The MULTI CHANNEL OUTPUT is a DB-25 port that can output up to 5.1
channels of decoded analog audio from DVD-Audio sources to a
receiver or other AV component that features a similar input port.
Ideally you want to connect two identical ports together via a single
DB-25 cable.
Notes
• The audio of DVD-Audio that have been recorded in multi channel audio is
output from the 5.1-channel ANALOG OUTPUT jacks regardless of the Audio
Out Select setting. Additionally, there is no audio output from the DIGITAL
OUTPUT jacks.
• When a DVD-Video has been recorded in multi channel audio, the audio is
downmixed to a 2-channel stereo mix and output from the ANALOG OUTPUT
jacks (CH1, CH2, or FRONT).
• When connecting the cable, be sure to secure the locking screws on the DB-25
connectors.
• The output from this port is the same as from the 6-channel ANALOG OUTPUT
jacks.

When you are making connections to an amp or
receiver that has digital input capabilities, but no
internal decoder, set Audio Out Select to “PCM” using
the on-screen menu explained in “Customizing the
Function Settings” starting on page 46. See page 50 for
direct information. Setting Audio Out Select to any other
setting could result in digital noise being output that
could cause harm your hearing and may also damage
your speakers.
Notes
• Refer to the instructions supplied with the AV component for
details on what digital audio formats it is compatible with.
• After making digital audio connections, be sure to set Audio
Out Select appropriately for the type of digital signal the
connected AV component is compatible with using the on-
screen menu explained in “Customizing the Function Settings”
starting on page 46. See page 50 for direct information.
• Even if digital audio connections are made, it is also
recommended to make analog connections, because some
conditions or media may prohibit digital audio output.
