About sounds reproduced through the rear terminals
• Through the analog terminals (Speaker out/LINE OUT/2nd AUDIO OUT): 2-channel signal is
emitted.
When playing a multi-channel encoded disc, multi-channel signals are downmixed.
(AUDIO—DOWN MIX: see page 31.)
• Through DIGITAL OUT (optical):
Digital signals (Linear PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG Audio) are emitted through this
terminal. (For more details, see below.)
To reproduce multi-channel sounds such as Dolby Digital and DTS, connect an amplifier or
a decoder compatible with these multi-channel sources to this terminal, and set "DIGITAL
AUDIO OUTPUT" correctly. (See page 31.)
• About Dual Zone
While you are listening to the radio, CD changer, or external component through the speakers
built into your car compartment, you can listen to the playback sound of this DVD/CD player
using the headphones connected to the 2nd AUDIO OUT plug at the same time. (For details,
see page 35.)
Output signals through the DIGITAL OUT terminal
Output signals are different depending on the "DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT" setting on the setup
