receiver or a suitable decoder. Such a connection can create a high level of noise that may be harmful to your ears and
could damage headphones or speakers. Older digital equipment, some of which are not fully compliant with IEC 958,
are likely to cause this problem.If you encounter this problem, use the Digital audio out menu (see above) to convert the
Dolby Digital audio bitstream output to linear PCM. The same should be applied with the so-called Optical or Coaxial
REC.OUT socket of Dolby Digital decoders, when they are connected to this DVD player. Since REC.OUT is a 1:1
