•Remove the dust protection cap from the optical digital audio output and connect the cable firmly so that the configurations of both the cable and the connector match.
•Keep the dust protection cap and always reuse the cap when not using the connector.

For Your Reference:
•Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. Supporting 5.1- or 7.1- channel surround sound depending on the specific disc, as well as stereo
•DTS is another digital audio technology developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. It supports 5.1 and 6.1 surround sound, depending on the specific disc, thanks to a sophisticated encoding system.
•Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in CDs. While CDs are recorded in
•If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder connected to the DVD 22’s analog audio out con- nectors, thanks to the “Downmix” function of the DVD 22 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 encoded with Dolby Surround.
•The DVD 22 is designed to digitally output 96kHz PCM audio with a 96kHz sampling rate. The 96kHz indicator will light in the display. However, some 96kHz DVDs may include copy protection codes that do not permit digital output. For full 96kHz fidelity from these discs, use the analog outputs of the DVD 22. If your surround processor converter does not support 96kHz PCM audio, you must use the DVD 22 analog outputs for full 96kHz fidelity with these discs.
•When connecting a receiver or surround processor with a digital input but which does not contain a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, be sure to select PCM as the initial setting in the Digital Output menu (see page 18). Otherwise, any attempt to play DVDs may cause such a high level of noise
that it may be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.
•CDs can be played as they would in a conventional CD player.
