Connecting the optical digital cable (for DVD/CD playback)

You may connect to an AV Amplifier with an optical digital cable (not supplied) instead of a coaxial digital cable.

When you connect the optical digital cable (not supplied), remove the dust protection cap from the rear panel. When not using the optical digital cable, attach the dust protection cap to protect against dust.

Note

¥The DVD OUTPUT jacks (OPTICAL, COAXIAL, AUDIO L/R, S-VIDEO and COMPONENT) are useful only for DVD section. The VHS signal is output only from the composite jacks (DVD/VCR OUTPUT) and UHF/VHF OUT.

¥When you make the connections above, do not set DOLBY DIGITAL to DOLBY DIGITAL or DTS to ON on the AV amplifier. If you do, a loud noise will suddenly come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

¥Caution for the optical digital audio output connector: Do not connect to an amplifier (with an optical digital input connector) which does not contain a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder. Otherwise, any attempt to play DVDs may cause such a high level of noise that it may be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.

¥If you use an optical or a coaxial connection, when you play a DVD-RW (VR mode) which was recorded from a bilingual broadcast, you can only hear the audio mode that was selected when it was recorded. See page 10.

¥DTS audio will be output only from the COAXIAL or OPTICAL output. To hear DTS audio, DTS-Decoder is necessary.

¥When playing DTS-encoded CDs, only noise will be heard from the speakers or analogue stereo outputs.

¥Some DTS decoders which do not support DVD-DTS interface may not work properly with the unit.
