Your DVD recorder has both coaxial and optical digital audio outputs.The format you choose will most likely depend on the formats supported by your AV amp.You don’t need to connect both cables, and their sound quality is identical.

1Connect a coaxial (12) or optical (13) digital audio cable from the DVD recorder’s COAX OUT or OPTICAL OUT to a coaxial or optical digital audio input on the AV receiver.

You can use a composite video cable instead of a dedicated coaxial digital audio cable.

Note

An unpleasant digital noise may be heard if you select a DVD soundtrack that uses an audio format that is not supported by your AV amp. For example, you select a DTS soundtrack and your AV amp does not support DTS.The format of the cur- rently selected soundtrack can be displayed onscreen in the menu bar. Six-channel (5.1) surround-sound playback is only possible with a multichannel AV amp that sup- ports Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG-2.
