This receiver uses HDMI or an optical port for outputting digital audio. The HDMI or optical
output can provide two audio data types—Dolby® Digital and Linear PCM (only Dolby
Digital can provide full 5.1-channel sound). Dolby Digital gives you the capability to enjoy
programs in surround sound. An external decoder is required to enjoy this feature. Refer
to your decoder user's guide.
Note: Not all programs contain a Dolby Digital sound track.

analog audio outputs.
