(Digital Audio Output Connection)
Cables: Optical (SPDIF)
Use this connection to take advantage of Dolby Digital* quality sound, when available.
Notes: Your digital receiver back panel may not look exactly like the one pictured.
This satellite receiver’s digital output jack fully complies with the international standard
governing this type of jack (IEC958), and will output digital audio signals in either PCM or
Dolby Digital format. It is designed for connection to an external Dolby Digital-capable
receiver/ decoder.
Older equipment, some of which is not fully compliant with IEC958, may not be compatible
with Dolby Digital. If the digital audio output is connected to a receiver that cannot decode
Dolby Digital signals, set the Dolby Digital setting in the System Options menu to PCM (see
pages 58-59 for further details). Failure to do so could create a high noise level, causing
damage to headphones, speakers, or your hearing.
Making the Connection
Connect one end of the optical (SPDIF) cable to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack* on the
satellite receiver, and to the digital audio input jack on a Dolby Digital receiver/decoder.
Using Your Component
After you connect your satellite receiver to an A/V receiver that includes a Dolby Digital-capable
receiver/decoder, you must select Dolby Digital from the System Options menu (press the remote
control’s MENU button, then select System Setup, then System Options, then highlight Dolby Digital.
Use the remote control’s arrow and OK buttons to highlight and select Autoselect, PCM, or Dolby
Digital in order for the receiver to recognize the digital audio connection.
For more information on this feature, see the Dolby Digital entry starting on page 59 in the
section, Using The Menu System.
