This unit has built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoders (
➡
page 21).
You can enjoy the powerful movie theater and hall-like sound available with Dolby Digital and DTS by connecting an amplifier with 5.1-channel input
terminals. You do not need to purchase separate Dolby Digital or DTS decoders.
Use analog connection to enjoy audio recorded with high sampling frequencies (over 48 kHz). To protect the rights of the producers of this
kind of material, this audio will be down-sampled to 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz if you use digital connection.
