Notes on audio output from the optical digital audio output connector

Enjoying digital audio output from the digital audio output connector

*1 The type of audio output from the connector can be selected by the Settings for DVD

Operation. (See p. 48.)

*2 Sound having 96 kHz sampling is converted into 48 kHz sampling when it is output

from the DECK’s optical digital audio output connector.

For your reference:

• Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories

Licensing Corporation. Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2-channel)

sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to be efficiently recorded on a disc.

• Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in CDs. While CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit,

DVDs are recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit.

• If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from

the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1 channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from

titles with the Dolby Surround mark. For information on Panasonic or Technics Dolby Pro Logic

Surround Sound Decoders please contact your local dealer.
