Both Dolby Digital® and DTS® are audio formats used to record 5.1-channel audio signals onto the digital track of film (while the film is being made). Both of these formats provide up to six separate channels: left, right, center, left rear, right rear, and common subwoofer. The disc will play 5.1-channel sound only if you’ve connected a DTS or Dolby Digital receiver or decoder and if the disc is encoded in the Dolby

Digital or DTS format.

Please Read This Before Using the DIGITAL AUDIO Jacks!

This unit’s digital output jacks are designed for a connection to a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver or decoder. Older digital equipment may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a connection can create a high level of noise that may be harmful to your ears, and could damage headphones or speakers. It is important to choose the correct Digital Output setting in the Options menu, especially when you use either of the DIGITAL AUDIO jacks. For more information, go to page 45.

The Digital Media Recorder’s Audio Jacks

You’ll need to consult instructions that came with your audio video receiver in order to connect it properly. The information below provides general guidelines for the Digital Media Recorder’s Audio Output Jacks.

1.Connect the left and right audio cables to your audio/video receiver and to the OUTPUT AUDIO L (left – white) and R (right – red) jacks on the back of your Digital Media Recorder.

2.If you have a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver, use one of the DIGITAL AUDIO jacks to connect the receiver to the Digital Media Recorder. You must also adjust the Digital Output setting (go to page 45 for information).

Note: The DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack has two options: OPTICAL and COAXIAL. Some Dolby Digital receivers have one type of Digital Audio Input jack, and some have both. Under most conditions, optical and coaxial connections work equally well

— the only difference is the type of cable you connect to the jack.

If you want to use a less expensive cable, connect a coaxial cable to the COAXIAL jack. Rarely, but sometimes, coaxial cables — especially long ones, pick up radio frequency (RF) interference from household appliances, nearby power lines, and/or broadcast towers.

If you would rather use the OPTICAL jack, connect an optical digital cable to the Digital Media Recorder and to the corresponding digital optical input jack on the receiver.

Note: Remove the protective cover that’s in the DIGITAL AUDIO OPTICAL jack before connecting cables.
