Connecting Amplifier (5.1 ch Surround system)
Enjoy the powerful movie theater and hall-like sound available with multiple
channel audio found on DVDs by connecting an amplifier and speakers.
There are two types of connection, digital and analog.
A. Digital connection (DECK OPTICAL Digital Audio Output Connector)
When DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS are played, Dolby Digital bitstream or DTS
bitstream is output from the DECK OPTICAL Digital Audio Output Connector. When DECK
is connected to a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver, you can enjoy theater-quality audio in your
home. [An optical digital audio cable (optional) is required when an optional Dolby Digital or
DTS receiver is used.]
B. Analog connection (5.1 ch Analog Audio Output Connector)
Connect an amplifier with multi-channel audio input terminals. This DECK can decode
Dolby Digital and DTS. There are no limitations on sampling frequency with this kind of
connection.
Notes on connecting an optical
digital audio cable (optional)
• Firmly connect the cable to the
connector.

Caution for optical digital audio output connector:
• When connecting an amplifier (with an Optical Digital Input Connector) which does not
contain the Dolby Digital or DTS receiver, be sure to select "PCM" at "Dolby Digital" and
"PCM" at "dts" of the Settings for DVD Operation "Audio Output" (see p. 54).
Otherwise, any attempt to play DVDs may cause such a high level of noise that it may
be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.
• When a Dolby Digital/DTS receiver is connected, please select "Bitstream" at "dts" or
"Dolby Digital" of the Settings for DVD Operation "Audio Output".
If "PCM" is selected, there will be stereo sound. (See p. 54.)
• Video CDs and CDs can be played as usual.
Note:
• Some DTS receivers which do not support DVD-DTS interface may not work properly with
DECK.
