DVDs are recorded in one of four types of digital audio
formats (as of October 1998). The digital audio output
jacks of this player output Dolby Digital*, DTS**, MPEG,
and linear PCM digital bitstreams.
This player has a function that converts Dolby Digital and
MPEG audio formats into the linear PCM format. This
allows playback of DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital and
MPEG without the need for a decoder.
