Connections

Notes on connecting to this unit’s OPTICAL terminal

cBefore using this terminal, remove the terminal’s cover by pulling it.

cMake the connection from this terminal to the optical input terminal of an amplifier by using a commercially available optical fiber cable.

*Use an optical fiber cable that conforms to EIAJ standards. Other cables might not function correctly.

cBe sure to attach the terminal’s cover when this terminal is not being used, in order to protect the terminal from dust.

Terminal’s cover

When you connect this unit’s OPTICAL or COAXIAL terminal to the optical or coaxial digital input terminal of the amplifier which does not include a Dolby Digital, MPEG or DTS decoder

Use “1 Digital Output” on the SET UP menu to select the “PCM” mode for “Dolby Digital” and “MPEG”, and select the “OFF” mode for “DTS”. (Refer to page 59 for details.)

For your reference:

cLinear PCM is a signal recording format used in CDs. While CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, DVDs are recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit.

cIf you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder or your AV amplifier includes a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the full benefit of Dolby Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sound tracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround mark.

cDigital signal for linear PCM (48 kHz 20/24 bit) will be converted into 48 kHz 16 bit and will be output if a DVD you play back is formatted with code scramble system (copyright-protection).
