Notes :

•To output the digital audio signals, you should set the SPDIF Output to “(SPDIF/) RAW” or “(SPDIF/) PCM” (Refer to “When selecting the SPDIF Output” on page 35.)

•When the DIGITAL OUT of the unit is connected to the DIGITAL IN of an amplifier which does not contain the Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, etc.(which processes the bitstream digital), you should set the SPDIF Output to “(SPDIF/)PCM”. If not, loud noise or no sound may be heard from the speakers, and it may be harmful to your ears and damage the speaker.

•Even when the DIGITAL OUT is connected to MD recorder or CD recorder, because digital recording cannot perform properly for the digital audio signals(such as Dolby Digital, DTS bitstream, etc.) other than PCM(2 channel) of 48 or 44.1 kHz, be sure to check the digital audio signal format before digital recording.(For details, refer to the operating instructions of the component connected.)

Audio output from the unit’s OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT

Disc	Audio recording	Audio output
	format
	Dolby Digital	Dolby Digital bitstream (2~5.1ch) or
		PCM(48 kHz/16bit) (2ch) (Note 1)
	DTS	DTS bitstream or PCM(48 kHz/ 16
		bit) (2ch) (Note 1)
DVD
Video	MPEG-2	PCM(48 kHz/ 16 bit) (2ch)
	Linear PCM(48/96	PCM(48 kHz/ 16 bit)
	kHz, 16/20/24bit)
CD /	Linear PCM	Linear PCM (44.1 kHz)
MP3 disc

Note 1 : The type of audio output from the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT can be selected by the SPDIF output settings.

(Refer to “When selecting the SPDIF Output” on page 35.)

•Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in music CDs. While music CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, DVD Videos are recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit to 96 kHz/24 bit.

4. CONNECTING SPEAKERS

• Be sure to connect speakers firmly and correctly according to the channel(left and right) and the polarity(+and-).

If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connection is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

• Connect the SUBWOOFER PREOUT jack to the active(powered) subwoofer.(For details on the operation of the subwoofer, refer to “OPERATION OF ACTIVE SUBWOOFER” on page 14.)

Caution :

• Be sure to use the speakers with the impedance of 6 ohms or above.

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or the speakers

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Place the speakers as follows :

• Front speakers: Place the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with TV or monitor screen as possible.

• Subwoofer: Place the subwoofer any where in the front as desired because the low frequencies it reproduces are non-directional.

5. AC INPUT CORD

Plug this cord into a wall AC outlet.
