Please Read Before Using the
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT Jack
This digital satellite receiver’s optical
digital output jack fully complies with the
international standard governing this
type of jack (IEC958), and is designed for
connection to a Dolby Digital (AC-3 or
PCM) receiver or Dolby Digital (AC-3 or
PCM) decoder. Older equipment, some of
which is not fully compliant with IEC958,
may not be compatible with the Dolby
Digital bitstream. Such a connection using
anything other than a PCM, Dolby Digital,
or Dolby Pro Logic receiver or decoder
could create a high noise level, causing
damage to headphones or speakers.
*The digital audio output jack is only available on model DRD480RE.
CAUTION
Do not stack electronic components or
other objects on top of the digital
satellite receiver. See “Safety
Information,” inside the front cover.
