Home Theater—Enjoying more powerful sound

This unit has built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoders (➡ page 25).

You can enjoy the powerful movie theater and hall-like sound available with Dolby Digital and DTS by connecting an amplifier with 5.1-channel input terminals. You do not need to purchase separate Dolby Digital or DTS decoders.

Use analog connection to enjoy audio recorded with high sampling frequencies (over 48 kHz). Some of this material is copy-guarded and will be down-sampled if you use digital connection.
