3. Connecting DIGITAL OUTPUTs
• To enhance the sound quality, connect either the OPTICAL
or the COAXIAL DIGITAL OUTPUT jack to the
corresponding DIGITAL INPUT jack of your amplifier/
receiver with built-in Dolby Digital or DTS decoder. (You
don’t need to do both.)
Notes :
•The DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks cannot output the digital
audio signals of DVD Audio and SACD.
Therefore, to be able to play multi-channel DVD Audios
and SACDs, you should also connect the 5.1CH AUDIO
OUTPUTs.(Refer to “Connecting 5.1CH AUDIO
OUTPUTs” above)
• If your amplifier/receiver doesn’t have 5.1CH AUDIO
INPUTs, make a stereo analog connection. (Refer to
“Connecting 2CH AUDIO OUTPUTs” above.)
• It is not recommended to record digital audio signals with
digital audio connection between this unit and MD or CD
recorder, etc.
When recording the sounds played on this unit, record them
through the 2CH AUDIO OUTPUT jacks.
• When your amplifier/receiver is not compatible with the
digital signals that are output from this unit, loud noise or no
sound may be heard from the speakers, and it may be
harmful to your ears and damages the speakers. To
prevent it, you should disconnect the DIGITAL OUTs to
your amplifier/receiver and make analog audio connection.
• When making the COAXIAL DIGITAL connection, be sure
to use a 75ΩCOAXIAL cord, not a conventional AUDIO
cord.
• All of the commercially-available optical fiber cords cannot
be used for audio equipments. If there is an optical fiber
cord which cannot be connected to your audio equipments,
consult your dealer or nearest service organization.
󳂮Audio output from the unit’s DIGITAL OUTPUTs
• Regardless of AUDIO OUT setting, the following table shows that the digital signals can be output from the DIGITAL
OUTPUTs.(For details, refer to “When selecting the AUDIO OUT” on page 42.)

1. Connecting 5.1CH AUDIO OUTPUTs
• To fully enjoy the multi-channel audio of DVD Audio and
SACD as well as Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks of
DVD Video, etc., connect these jacks to the corresponding
channel input jacks of your A/V amplifier/receiver.
Notes :
• When connecting only the 5.1CH AUDIO OUTPUTs to your
A/V amplifier/receiver, you should set the AUDIO OUTPUT
to HDMI AUTO or MULTI CH to output the multi-channel
audio signals from these jacks as they were recorded.
In this case, only the front left and right signals of the multi-
channel audio signals will output from the 2CH AUDIO
OUTPUT jacks (and the A/V SCART OUTPUT connector).
(For details, refer to “When selecting the AUDIO OUTPUT”
on page 42.)
• In order to be able to hear multi-channel sound from DVD
Audio and SACD, you should set DVD AUDIO AREA to
DVD AUDIO and SACD AREA to MULTICHANNEL.(Refer
to “When selecting the DVD AUDIO AREA” and “When
selecting the SACD AREA” on page 43.)
• When connecting the 5.1CH AUDIO OUTPUTs to the multi-
channel audio inputs of an amplifier/receiver that dose not
have the speaker setup for the multi-channel audio inputs,
you should set the speaker size, distance and level settings
correctly.(For details, refer to “SETTING THE AUDIO
SETUP” on page 37.)
2. Connecting 2CH AUDIO OUTPUTs
• Connect these jacks to the AUDIO IN jacks of DVD(, AUX,
CD, etc.) of your amplifier/receiver.
• Depending on whether these jacks to a stereo amplifier /
receiver or an A/V amplifier/receiver with built-in surround
decoder, you should set the AUDIO OUT to STEREO or
Lt/Rt.(For details, refer to “When selecting the AUDIO OUT”
on page 42.)
