About sounds reproduced through the rear terminals

•Through the analog terminals (Speaker out/LINE OUT): 2-channel signal is emitted. When playing a multi-channel encoded disc, multi-channel signals are downmixed. (AUDIO—DOWN MIX: see page 31.)

•Through DIGITAL OUT (optical):

Digital signals (Linear PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG Audio) are emitted through this terminal. (For more details, see below.)

To reproduce multi-channel sounds such as Dolby Digital and DTS, connect an amplifier or a decoder compatible with these multi-channel sources to this terminal, and set “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” correctly. (See page 31.)
