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,” “MPEG”
to “PCM” and “DTS” to “OFF” in the setup display. (page 56)

Notes
•Refer to the instructions supplied with the component to be

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”, “MPEG” to
