Initial Setup (Connection) I Connecting Amplifier (5.1 ch Surround system) Enjoy the powerful movie theater and hall-like sound available with multiple channel audio found on DVDs by connecting an amplifier and speakers. There are two types of connection, digital and analog. A. Digital connection (DECK OPTICAL Digital Audio Output Connector) When DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS are played, Dolby Digital bitstream or DTS bitstream is output from the DECK OPTICAL Digital Audio Output Connector. When DECK is connected to a Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder, you can enjoy theater-quality audio in your home. [An optical digital audio cable (optional) is required when an optional Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder is used.] B. Analog connection (5.1 ch Analog Audio Output Connector) Connect an amplifier with multi-channel audio input terminals. This DECK can decode Dolby Digital and DTS. There are no limitations on sampling frequency with this kind of connection. Notes on connecting an optical digital audio cable (optional) • Firmly connect the cable to the connector.

Otherwise, any attempt to play DVDs may cause such a high level of noise that it may be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers. • When a Dolby Digital/DTS decoder is connected, please select "Bitstream" at "dts" or "Dolby Digital" of the Settings for DVD Operation "Audio Output". If "PCM" is selected, there will be stereo sound. (See p. 50.) • Video CDs and CDs can be played as usual.
