C Digital Connection to Audio Equipment or MD deck without a Dolby Digital Decoder

•Audio CDs can be transferred digitally to other equipment such as an MD deck or DAT deck, play the disc as you would normally with the connection shown above, right. Audio CDs recorded in the DTS format cannot be transferred digitally or via analogue.

•Some Audio CDs have a short silent section between musical tracks. When sound from discs such as these is digitally recorded by connecting the unit directly to a digital recorder (such as an MD deck or DAT deck), the music may be recorded continuously and track numbers may be lost.

•DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround sound, DTS or MPEG Audio cannot be connected digitally to external recording equipment such as an MD deck or DAT deck.

It may be possible to record “Dolby Digital” or “MPEG” Audio via a digital connection if the unit output is set to “PCM” (see pages 81-83 “Digital Out”). Analogue recording is possible but not for DTS recorded audio.

Note

•Playing back a DVD using incorrect settings may generate noise distortion and may also damage the speakers.

•AUDIO OUT jacks are not available on the DTS audio.

Playing Dolby Digital (5.1 channel audio),

Connecting an amplifier with a Dolby Digital/ DTS/ MPEG audio digital surround processor to your unit's audio digital jack provides richer and more powerful audio play. This connection is not possible if the processor or amplifier to which you want to connect does not have an audio digital input jack.
