To enjoy the benefits of HDCD, your DVD 50 must be connected to your A/V receiver via the Analog Audio Outputs £. However, if your A/V receiver or surround processor is equipped with built-in HDCD decoding, you may also use a Coaxial ¶ or Optical • digital audio connection so that the HDCD processing is done there. 32 CD PLAYBACK
