For your reference:
Á
Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a digital sound compression tech-
nique developed by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Cor-
poration.
Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo
(2-channel) sound, this technique enables a large quantity
of sound data to be efficiently recorded on a disc.
Á
Lnear PCM is a signal recording format used in CDs. While
audio CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, DVDs are re-
corded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit.
Á If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will
obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD mov-
ies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks,
as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround mark.
Concerning the audio output from the unit’s optical/coax-
ial digital audio output connector

Caution for the optical/coaxial digital au-
dio output connector:
Á
Do not connect an amplifier (with an optical/coaxi-
al digital input connector) which does not contain
the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or MPEG audio decoder.
Á Otherwise any attempt to play DVDs may cause to
such a high level of noise that it may be harmful to
your ears and damage your speakers.
Á Video CDs and CDs can be played as they would nor-
mally be played.
