Getting started
To connect to a digital audio device
You can enhance the playback sound quality by connecting either of the unit's DIGITAL OUT jacks to the digital input of
an amplifier, etc. by using an optical or a coaxial digital cable (optional). The digital audio signal from a disc will be
transferred directly. If you connect the unit to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder using
an optional digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.
For a digital connection, connect the unit's DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to the digital input of a digital audio
device using an optical or a coaxial digital cable.

Note that the DIGITAL OUT jacks on the unit have been designed and equipped exclusively for enjoying the digital
surround sound playback through the unit. It is not recommended to use the jacks for digital dubbing. When recording
the sounds (DVD AUDIO, DVD VIDEO, SVCD, Video CD or Audio CD) played back on the unit, record them through the
analog jacks (in this case, set [ANALOG OUT] in the [AUDIO] preference display to [2-CH STEREO]) (see page 60).
NOTES
• When you make digital connection, we recommend also to make the analog connection, because, depending on discs, no
signal may be output from the DIGITAL OUT.
• When you connect the unit's DIGITAL OUT to a digital audio device, before using, set [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] in the [AUDIO]
preferences correctly according to the connected audio device. If [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] is not set correctly, loud noise may
be generated from speakers, causing damage to them. See [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] on page 60.
• When you connect the unit's DIGITAL OUT to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder (or amplifier with a built-in decoder) to enjoy
surround sound, the unit's [D. RANGE COMPRESSION] setting in the [AUDIO] preferences is invalid. Make appropriate
surround audio settings on the decoder.
To connect the power cord
When all the audio/video connections have been made, insert the AC power plug to the wall outlet. Make sure that plugs
are inserted firmly. The STANDBY/ON
