Audio connections
When connecting the optical
audio digital cable:
1. Remove the protection cap from
the connector and connect it
firmly as shown on the drawing.
2. Keep the protection cap and
always reattach the cap when
not using the connector, to keep
connector dustfree.

Linear PCM is a signal
recording format used
in CDs. While CDs
are recorded in
44.1 kHz / 16 bit,
DVDs are recorded in
48 kHz / 16 bit up to
96 kHz / 24 bit.
* The type of audio
output from the
connector you can
select during the set-up
procedure
(see page 23).
** The player converts
sound having 96 kHz
sampling, into
48 kHz sampling
before the output from
the unit's optical /
coaxial digital audio
output connector.
The player's digital audio (optical and coaxial) output jacks :
fully comply with the international standard governing this type of jack (IEC 958). They are
designed exclusively for connection to a Dolby Digital (AC-3) or MPEG2 audio receiver or a
suitable decoder.
Do not use ...
the Digital Audio Output jacks to connect to an equipment other than a Dolby Digital (AC-
3) or MPEG 2 receiver or a suitable decoder.
Such a connection can create a high level of noise that may be harmful to your ears, and
could damage headphones or speakers.
Older digital equipment, some of which are not fully compliant with IEC 958, are likely to
cause this problem.
If you encounter this problem, use the “digital audio output” menu (see p. 23) to convert the
Dolby Digital (AC-3) digital audio bitstream output to linear PCM.
The same should be applied with the so-called "optical or coaxial REC.OUT jack" of Dolby
Digital (AC-3) decoders, when they are connected to this DVD player. Since REC.OUT is a
1 : 1 copy of the decoder's input, no other equipment should be connected there.
