Audio Connections This player features two digital (optical and coaxial) and also analog audio output formats. Digital Audio Connections: You can enjoy the digital audio recorded on DVD, Video CD or CD discs from both optical digital and coaxial digital output jacks. When making digital audio connections, do not make connections from both the coaxial and optical digital outputs to the same component. When a DVD recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG is loaded, noise will be output if you have made connections via the digital audio jacks to a receiver or amplifier that cannot decode a Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG digital bitstream. In this case, be sure to set the [Digital Jack] setting in the Setup Navigator to best reflect the type of system you are using (page 20). Additionally, the digital audio settings can be adjusted manually in the Setup screen Audio 1 menu (page 2829). DIGITAL OUT (Optical) The digital signal is transmitted as light pulses through a fiber-optic cable. • Use to connect to an AV amplifier or receiver with built-in Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder. • Use a fiber-optic cable (not supplied) to connect the DIGITAL OUT OPT (optical digital output) on the player to the optical digital input on an AV amplifier or receiver.
