Connecting to Audio Equipment with a Digital Input

You can enhance the sound quality by con- necting the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT or

COAXIAL DIGITAL OUTPUT of the RDV-995 to the digital input of an amplifier, DAT or MD by using an optional digital cable. The digital stereo audio signal from a disc is directly transferred. If you connect the unit to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an ampli- fier with built-in decoder by using an optional digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality sur- round sound.

When you make the digital connection, also make the analog connection, because, de- pending on the disc type, no audio may be reproduced from the DIGITAL OUTPUT.

With the digital connection, the Preference menu settings for COMPRESSION and DOWN MIX are disabled. Settings for these items must be made from the decoder.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 5.1 CHANNEL OPERATION:

If the “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” is not set correctly, loud noise may be generated from speakers, possibly damaging them. Before using the RDV-995 in a 5.1 channel system, be sure the proper type of Digital Audio Output has been selected. Use the following procedure.

While the RDV-995 is stopped or no disc is loaded press RETURN-CHOICE 20 while holding down SHIFT 7 to access the Preference display screen. Use the τ/υ Cursor Buttons 12 to move to select “SYSTEM”. Use the π/θ Cursor Buttons to select DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT. Use the τ/υ Cursor Buttons to select “STREAM/PCM”. To close the Preferences display screen press RETURN-CHOICE while

holding down SHIFT, or move to Exit. See page 24 for more information.

Connecting to an Audio Amplifier or Receiver

You will get better sound quality if you con- nect the audio outputs of the RDV-995 to a high quality amplifier or receiver and use component loudspeakers, rather than those built in to the television.

Connect the ANALOG OUTPUTS of the RDV-995 to any high level input (such as AUX, DVD, CD, etc.) of an amplifier or receiver.
