Audio Connections
This player features two digital (optical and coaxial) and also
analog audio output formats.
Digital Audio Connections:
You can enjoy the digital audio recorded on DVD discs from
both optical digital and coaxial digital output jacks.
When making digital audio connections, do not make
connections from both the coaxial and optical digital
outputs to the same component.
When a DVD recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG is
loaded, noise will be output if you have made connections via
the digital audio jacks to a receiver or amplifier that cannot
decode a Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG digital bitstream. In
this case, be sure to set up the Setup Navigator audio
settings to best reflect the type of system you are using (page
17). Additionally, the digital audio settings can be adjusted
manually in the Setup screen Audio 1 menu (page 24-25).
DIGITAL OUT (Optical)
The digital signal is transmitted as light pulses through a
fiber-optic cable.
• Use to connect to an AV amplifier or receiver with built-in
Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder.
• Use a fiber-optic cable (not supplied) to connect the
DIGITAL OUT OPT (digital optical output) on the player to
the digital optical input on an AV amplifier or receiver.
