Getting started

To connect to audio equipment with a digital input

Connection to an amplifier/receiver with digital input, Dolby Digital decoder/amplifier with built-in Dolby Digital decoder, or an amplifier with built-in DTS and Dolby Digital decoder

You can enhance the sound quality by connecting the unit’s DIGITAL OUT (optical) with the digital input of an amplifier, DAT or MD by using a digital cable. The digital stereo audio signal from a disc is directly transferred. And, if you connect with a Dolby Digital decoder or an amplifier with built-in Dolby Digital decoder by using an optional digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality audio and surround sound. The unit also is compatible with the DTS function. When you make a digital connection, leave the 2 channel analog audio connection as it is. Otherwise, depending on the disc type, no audio may be reproduced.

NOTES

¦DTS (Digital Theater System)

DTS is a newly-developed surround system which can handle more amount of data than Dolby Digital, providing better audio quality.

Though the number of audio channels is 5.1 which is same as Dolby Digital, DTS provides fat sound and better signal-to-noise ratio, thanks to the lower audio compression ratio format. It also provides wide dynamic range and better separation, resulting magnificent sound.

¦When you connect the audio equipment with a digital input, before using, change the “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” setting in the “PREFERENCE 2” on-screen display according to the connected audio equipment with a digital input. When the “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” setting is not set correctly, loud noise may be played back from speakers, and it cause of the breakdown of your speakers. See “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” on page 52.

¦With this connection, the unit’s settings for “COMPRESSION” and “DOWN MIX” in the “PREFERENCE 2” on screen display are invalid. Settings for these items must be made from the decoder.
