Digital audio for better sound quality

The connections illustrated above are

optional for better sound.

1For clear digital sound quality, use
the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT PCM/
BITSTREAM (COAXIAL) jack to
connect your digital audio
equipment.
If the audio format of the digital output does not
match the capabilities of your receiver, the
receiver will produce a strong, distorted sound or
no sound at all.

Connecting a Dolby Digital™ decoder, DTS

decoder or MPEG decoder

• Connecting multi-channel Dolby Digital decoder
allows you to enjoy the 5.1ch Dolby Digital surround
system as well as DTS decoder, 5.1 channel
surround system.
• After connecting to a Dolby Digital decoder, set
“Dolby Digital” to “Stream” in the AUDIO menu. (See
page 57.)
• After connecting to a DTS decoder, set “DTS” to
“ON” in the AUDIO menu. (See page 57.)
• After connecting to a MPEG decoder, set “MPEG” to
“Stream” in the AUDIO menu. (See page 57.)

Connecting to an MD deck or DAT deck

• The audio source recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1
channel surround format cannot be recorded using
an MD or DAT deck as a digital sound.
• If not connected to a Dolby Digital decoder, set
“Dolby Digital” to “PCM” in the AUDIO menu.
Playing back a DVD using incorrect settings may
generate noise distortion, and damage speakers.
• Set “Dolby Digital,” and “MPEG” to “PCM” and set
“DTS” to “OFF” in the AUDIO menu for connecting
to an MD or DAT deck.
• You can use ANALOG AUDIO OUT jacks for the
connection of your audio system.

connections

Switch the input selector on your TV to an appropriate
external input channel. For details, refer to the
Instruction Manual of your TV.
Note
• Connect this unit directly to the TV. If the Audio/
Video cables are connected to a VCR, pictures may
be distorted due to the effects of the copy protection
system.
