Analog connection

Connect an analog amplifier to enjoy high-quality stereo sound with sampling frequencies of 96 kHz.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Caution for optical digital audio output connector:

•Be sure to refer to page 50 regarding output settings of Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM.

•CDs and Video CDs can be played as usual.

•Audio from the Digital Audio Out terminal is only output during playback.

•When connecting an amplifier which contains the Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, be sure to select “Bitstream”. When connecting an amplifier which does not contain the Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, be sure to select “PCM”. (See page 50.) Otherwise, attempting to play a DVD may cause such a high level of noise that it may harm your hearing and damage your speakers.

Notes:

•Some DTS decoders which do not support DVD-DTS Interface may not work properly with the unit.

•Avoid bending/twisting the optical digital cable when connecting.

For your reference:

•Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2-channel) sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to be efficiently recorded on a disc.

•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.

•If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide full

5.1 channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround mark. For information on Panasonic or Technics Dolby Pro Logic Surround Sound Decoders please contact your local dealer.
