Pioneer DV-SS838A Digital Audio Connections, Digital OUT Optical, Digital OUT Coaxial

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 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 23). Additionally, the digital audio settings can be adjusted manually in the Setup screen Audio 1 menu (pages 30–31).

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.
