Notes

DO NOT connect the BITSTREAM/PCM (DIGITAL) AUDIO OUT jack of the unit to the AC-3 RF input of a Dolby Digital Receiver. This input on your A/V Receiver is reserved for Laserdisc use only and is incompatible with the BITSTREAM/PCM (DIGITAL) AUDIO OUT jack of the unit.

Connect the BITSTREAM/PCM (DIGITAL) AUDIO OUT jack of the unit to the “DIGITAL (OPTICAL)” or “DIGITAL (COAXIAL)” input of a Receiver or Processor.

Refer to the owner’s manual of the connected equipment as well.

When you connect the unit to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the wall outlet before making any connections.

The output sound of the unit has a wide dynamic range. Be sure to adjust the receiver’s volume to a moderate listening level. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by a sudden high volume sound.

Turn off the amplifier before you connect or disconnect the unit’s power cord. If you leave the amplifier power on, the speakers may be damaged.

Warning

When you are connecting (via the BITSTREAM/PCM (DIGITAL) AUDIO OUT jack) an AV decoder that does not have Dolby Digital, Digital Theater Systems (DTS) or MPEG2 decoding function, be sure to set “Audio Out Select” to “PCM” from the on-screen displays 62 65 . Otherwise, high volume sound may damage your hearing as well as the speakers.

When playing DTS-encoded discs (audio CDs), excessive noise may be output from the analog audio output jacks. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, you should take proper precautions when the analog audio output jacks of the unit are connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must be connected to the BITSTREAM/PCM (DIGITAL) AUDIO OUT jack of the unit.
