Digital audio for better sound quality
The connections illustrated above are
optional for better sound.
1 For clear digital sound quality, use
the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT PCM/
BITSTREAM (COAXIAL) jack to
connect your digital audio
equipment.
If the audio format of the digital output does not
match the capabilities of your receiver, the
receiver will produce a strong, distorted sound or
no sound at all.
Connecting a Dolby Digital™ decoder, DTS
decoder or MPEG decoder

allows you to enjoy the 5.1ch Dolby Digital surround
system as well as DTS decoder, 5.1 channel
surround system.

“Dolby Digital” to “Stream” in the AUDIO menu. (See
page 58.)

channel surround format cannot be recorded using
