Switches the method of outputting audio signals when you connect a component such as an amplifier (receiver) or MD deck with a digital input jack.
For connection details, see page 16. Select “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG,” “DTS,” and “48kHz/96kHz PCM” after setting “DIGITAL OUT” to “ON.”
If you connect a component that is incompatible with the selected audio signal, a loud noise (or no sound) may be heard from the speakers, risking damage to your ears or speakers.
