Connecting to a digital audio device

You can enjoy sound of enhanced quality by connecting the unit’s DIGITAL OUT (either OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack to a digital input of an amplifier, etc., using an optical or coaxial digital cable. The digital audio signal on a disc will be transferred directly from the unit. If the connected digital audio equipment is a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.

NOTES

Connect the unit and the digital audio device by using either an optical digital cable or a coaxial digital cable.

It is not recommended to use the digital jacks for dubbing. When recording the sounds (DVD AUDIO, DVD VIDEO, SVCD, Video CD or Audio CD) played back on the unit, record them through the analog jacks (in this case, set [ANALOG OUT] in the [AUDIO] preference display to [2-CH STEREO]) (see page 38).

Depending on the disc, no signal may be output from the DIGITAL OUT. Make an analog connection in this case.

Set [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] in the [AUDIO] preference display correctly according to the connected digital audio equipment. If setting made for [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] is incorrect, loud noise may be generated causing damage to the speakers (see page 38).
