reo sound, plus powerful stereo sound enhanced by Dolby Digital 5.1

tal surround processor to your VCR/DVD’s audio digital jack provides
richer and more powerful audio play. This connection is not possible
if the processor or amplifier to which you want to connect does not
have an audio digital input jack.

Digital Connection to Audio Equipment or MD deck without a Dolby Digital Decoder
• Audio CD
Audio CDs can be transferred digitally to other equipment such as
an MD deck or DAT deck, play the disc as you would normally with
the connection shown above. Audio CDs recorded in the DTS for-
mat cannot be transferred digitally or via analogue.
• Some Audio CDs have a short silent section between musical tracks.
When sound from discs such as these is digitally recorded by con-
necting the VCR/DVD directly to a digital recorder (such as an MD
deck or DAT deck), the music may be recorded continuously and
track numbers may be lost.
• DVD
DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround sound, DTS or
MPEG Audio cannot be connected digitally to external recording
equipment such as an MD deck or DAT deck.
It may be possible to record “Dolby Digital” or “MPEG” Audio via a
digital connection if the VCR/DVD output is set to “DPCM” (see page
31 “AUDIO Setting”). Analogue recording is possible but not for
DTS recorded audio.
Hint
• The DVD AUDIO OUT and DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks are only use-
ful in DVD mode.
• The audio source on a disc in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel sur-
round format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD or
DAT deck.
• Playing back a DVD using incorrect settings may generate noise
distortion and may also damage the speakers.
