Preparation (Continued)
Sound can output from connected audio system.
If you made the HDMI connection between the player and a TV, this step is unnecessary. Skip to Step 3.
Via HDMI output
You can enjoy the benefits of Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby TrueHD by connecting the HDMI OUT jack of your player to
an AV receiver with an HDMI audio input.
This connection requires selection of “Digital Out HDMI” (Step 16, page 23).
Via digital audio output
You can listen to down-converted Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD as well as Dolby Digital and DTS using a
receiver with Dolby Digital and DTS decoding capabilities and an optical digital input.
This connection requires selection of “Digital Out SPDIF” (Step 16, page 23).
Caution
• When you are connecting (via the HDMI OUT
jack) an AV decoder that does not have Dolby
Digital or DTS decoding capability, be sure to
set “Digital Out HDMI” ( page 23) to “PCM”
or “Downmixed PCM”. Otherwise, high volume
sound may damage your hearing as well as
the speakers.
Note
• You may need to adjust the HDMI audio output
to match the capabilities of your AV amplifier.
In this case, set “Digital Out HDMI” ( page
23) to “PCM”.
