Depending on the audio equipment connected to the digital output (coaxial or optical), you will need to
adjust the audio option settings as explained below. From the Main Menu, select Audio Options, then
set each item (Dolby Digital, PCM, MPEG, DTS) as explained below, using the
Navigation keys .
Digital audio output
* If the DVD disc contains an audio format of
higher quality than 48kHz/16bit (maybe 96kHz/
24bit), the player has to convert into a format
compatible with DAT or MD.
** In this case you do not hear the highest
sound quality possible recorded on the disc (the
analog AUDIO OUT is also affected).
Caution for the optical or coaxial audio output.
When connecting an amplifier (with an optical/coaxial digital input connector) which does not contain the Dolby Digital
decoder or DTS decoder, be sure to select:
• Dolby Digital = PCM
• DTS = Off
Do not use ... the Digital Audio Out sockets to connect to an equipment other than a Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG 2
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
copy of the decoder's input, no other equipment should be connected there.
