Audio Connections
This player features two digital (optical and coaxial) and
also analog 2 channel and 5.1 channel audio output
connection possibilities.

Digital Audio Connections:

You can enjoy the digital audio recorded on DVD discs
from both optical digital and coaxial digital output jacks.
When making digital audio connections, do not
make connections from both the coaxial and optical
digital outputs to the same component.
When a DVD recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG is
loaded, noise will be output if you have made
connections via the digital audio jacks to a receiver or
amplifier that cannot decode a Dolby Digital, DTS, or
MPEG digital bitstream. In this case, be sure to set up
the Setup Navigator audio settings to best reflect the
type of system you are using (page 24) Additionally, the
digital audio settings can be adjusted manually in the
Setup screen Audio 1 menu (page 31).
