Notes

You need to set [DIGITAL OUTPUT] to [ALL] (see “DIGITAL OUTPUT” on page 32).

If the audio format of the digital output does not match the capabilities of your receiver, the receiver produces a distorted sound or no sound at all. Make sure to select the appropriate audio format from the menu screen on the disc. Pressing AUDIO on the remote control once or more may change not only the audio languages but also the audio format. The selected format appears in the front panel display for several seconds.

SA-CD audio signals are not output at the DIGITAL OUT jacks.

If you want to enjoy Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG format, you must connect this unit to an AV receiver that supports these formats.
