Operation Manual

Optional Audio connections
Concerning the audio output from the player's optical
coaxial digital audio output connector
*1 The type of audio output from the connector can be
selected by the initial settings.
*2 Sound having 96 kHz sampling is converted into 48
kHz sampling when it is output from the player's opti-
cal/coaxial digital audio output connector.
For your reference:
Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a digital sound compression
technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories Licens-
ing Corporation.
Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as ste-
reo (2-channel) sound, this technique enables a large
quantity of sound data to be efficiently recorded on a
disc.
Linear PCM is signal recording format used in a CD.
While a CD is recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, a DVD is
recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit.
If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will
obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD
movies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital
soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Sur-
round mark.
Caution for 5.1-channel speaker setup
Turn off the amplifier before you connect or disconnect
the DVD video player's power cord. If you have the
amplifier power on, the speakers may be damaged.
The output sound of the DVD video player has a wide
dynamic range. Be sure to adjust the receiver's
volume to a moderate listening level. Otherwise, the
speakers may be damaged by a sudden high volume
sound.
