You can enjoy multi-channel surround sound by connecting the component via the OPTICAL OUT connector using an optical digital connecting cord (not supplied). For details on hookups and settings, see page 20.

Notes

When you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord, do not set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG” to “MPEG” and “DTS” to “ON” in “DIGITAL OUT.” If you do, a loud noise will suddenly come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

•When you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord, set “VES” to “OFF” in the Control Menu display (page 58). Otherwise, the player will not output the following signals from the OPTICAL OUT connector.

–Dolby Digital signals (when you select “DIGITAL OUT” in “AUDIO SETUP” and set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “D-PCM”)

–MPEG audio

•When you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord and output the signals which do not reproduce the Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) effect, set “DOWNMIX” to “NORMAL” in “AUDIO SETUP” in the setup display.

•You cannot make digital audio recordings of discs recorded in multi-channel surround format directly using an MD deck or DAT deck.
