CDigital Connection to Audio Equipment or MD deck without a Dolby Digital Decoder

Audio CDs can be transferred digitally to other equipment such as an MD deck or DAT deck, play the disc as you would normally with the connection shown above. Audio CDs recorded in the DTS for- mat cannot be transferred digitally or via analog.

• Some Audio CDs have a short silent section between musical tracks. When sound from discs such as these is digitally recorded by con- necting the unit directly to a digital recorder (such as an MD deck or DAT deck), the music may be recorded continuously and track num- bers may be lost.

• DVD

DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround sound or DTS cannot be connected digitally to external recording equipment such as an MD deck or DAT deck.

It may be possible to record “Dolby Digital” via a digital connection if the unit’s output is set to “DPCM” (see page 18 “AUDIO Setting”).

Analog recording is possible but not for DTS recorded audio.
