You can enhance the sound quality by connecting either of the unit's DIGITAL OUT jacks (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to the
digital input of an amplifier, MD, etc. by using an optional digital cable. The digital audio signal from a disc is directly
transferred. If you connect the unit to a Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG Multichannel decoder or an amplifier with a built-in
decoder by using an optional digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.
When you make the digital connection, we recommend also to make the analog connection, because, depending on
discs, no signal may be output from the DIGITAL OUT.

NOTES
• When you connect the unit's DIGITAL OUT to digital audio equipment, before using, make the “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT”
setting on the “AUDIO” page of the preference display correctly according to the connected audio equipment. If the “DIGITAL
AUDIO OUTPUT” is not set correctly, loud noise may be generated from speakers, causing damage to your speakers. See
“DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” on page 43.
• When you connect the unit’s DIGITAL OUT to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder (or the amplifier with a built-in decoder), the unit’s
“COMPRESSION” setting and “SPEAKER SETTING” on the “AUDIO” page of the preference display are invalid. Make
appropriate surround audio settings within the decoder.
