Home Theater—Enjoying more powerful sound

This unit has built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoders (page 21).

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). To protect the rights of the producers of this kind of material, this audio will be down-sampled to 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz if you use digital connection.

Note

Turn speaker and headphone V.S.S. (page 10) off when you connect through the 5.1-channel output terminals. The unit does not output the signals for channels other than the front speakers when V.S.S. is on.

If you do not connect a subwoofer, it is advisable to connect front spea- kers (L/R) capable of producing bass of less than 100 Hz.

Note

You cannot use DTS Digital Surround decoders not suited to DVD-Video.
