Dolby Digital* Setup

Dolby Digital soundtracks (when available) provide up to six independent soundtrack channels through a

digital audio output jack. Your digital satellite receiver has a SPDIF [IEC-958] digital PCM digital audio

output jack. This can be connected to an external Digital Audio Receiver/Decoder equipped with a

compatible digital audio input (see page 14 in the Setup and Connections section for more information).

With such additional equipment, you can enjoy more dynamic and realistic sound.

Connections

This diagram illustrates the equipment connections and home theatre speaker arrangements. Check your

equipment’s user’s manual for more detailed connection information. (Note: older digital equipment may not be

compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream and could cause damage to ears, headphones, or speakers. Please

read the note below for more information.)

Note: 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 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.

Failure to do so could create a high noise level, causing damage to headphones, speakers, or your hearing.
