Notes when connecting the optical digital audio cable (optional)

Remove the dust protection cap from the optical digital audio output and connect the cable firmly so that the configurations of both the cable and the connector match.

Keep the dust protection cap to protect against dust. Always reattach the cap when not using the connector.

For your reference:

• Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a digital sound compression technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

• Linear PCM is signal recording format used in a CD. While a CD is recorded in 44.1 KHz/16 bit, a DVD is 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.
