Getting Started
If you have a digital component such as a
receiver (amplifier) with a digital connector, DAT
or MD
Connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or
COAXIAL connector using an optical or coaxial digital
connecting cord (not supplied).
When you play a DVD, set “DIGITAL OUT” in “AUDIO SETUP”
to “ON” and then set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “D-PCM,” and
“DTS” to “OFF” in the setup display (page 49).
pWhen using an optical digital connecting cord
Take off the cap and plug in the optical digital connecting cord.
pWhen using a coaxial digital connecting cord
Notes
•Refer to the instructions supplied with the component to be

•You cannot make digital audio recordings of discs recorded in
multi-channel surround format directly using an MD deck or
DAT deck.
When you make the connections above, do not set
“DOLBY DIGITAL” to “DOLBY DIGITAL,” and “DTS” to
“ON.” If you do, a loud noise will suddenly come out
from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the
speakers to be damaged.
