Denon DVD-A11 manual Connecting to a AV amplifier with a Built-in decoder, Not to lose it

ENGLISH

(4) Connecting to a AV amplifier with a Built-in decoder

When DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS are played, Dolby Digital or DTS bitstream signals are output from the DVD player’s digital audio output connectors. If a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder is connected, you can achieve sound with the power and sense of presence of a movie theater or concert hall.

AV amplifier with a built-in decoder

(AV control center)

NOTES:

•Harsh noise that could harm your ears or damage the speakers is generated when a DVD recorded in DTS is played while using a decoder, etc., that is not DTS-compatible.

•When playing copyright-protected linear PCM or packed PCM DVDs, in consideration of copyrights, no digital signals are output for sources exceeding 48 kHz/16 bits. When playing such sources, either set “LPCM (44.1 kHz/48 kHz)” under “AUDIO SETUP” at “SETUP” to “ON” (see page 20) or make analog connections. (See page 9.)

•When making digital connections to an AV amplifier that is not compatible with 96 kHz/88.2 kHz signals, set “LPCM (44.1 kHz/48 kHz)” under “AUDIO SETUP” at “SETUP” to “ON”. (See page 20.)

•With Super audio CDs, digital audio signals cannot be output. Use analog connections. (See page 9.)

2Connecting an optical fiber cable (commercially available) to the digital audio input connector (OPTICAL)

		NOTE:
		• Store the dust cap in a safe place, and be careful
		not to lose it.
Dust cap	Line up in proper direction	When not using the terminal, attach the cap to
		protect the terminal from dust.

Remove the dust cap, line up the cable in the proper directly, then insert it securely as far as it goes.

*1 Only 48 kHz/16 bit sources are output.

*2 Only 44.1 kHz/16 bit sources are output.

*3 44.1 kHz/16-bit PCM signals are output during CD layer playback.

•Down-mixed to 2 channels for multi-channel PCM sources. (Only the front left and right channels are output for sources for which down-mixing is prohibited.)

•When “OFF” is selected, digital signals are not output from the digital audio output at this time.

•Bitstream signals are signals that are compressed and converted into digital format. They are decoded into multi-channel audio signals (5.1-channels, etc.) by the decoder.

•Linear PCM audio is a signal recording format used for music CDs.

While signals are recorded at 44.1 kHz/16 bit for music CDs, for DVDs they are recorded at 44.1 kHz/16 bit to 192 kHz/24 bit, providing higher sound quality than music CDs.

•Packed PCM signals are high sound quality compressed PCM signals that are decompressed with virtually no

loss of data.
