When DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital or MPEG audio are played,

Dolby Digital bitstream or MPEG audio bitstream is output from the
piayer’s OPTICAL digital audio output connector or COAXIAL digital

audio output connector. When the player is connected to a Dolby Dig
ital decoder or MPEG audio decoder, you can enjoy theater-quality

audio in your home. [An optical digital cable or coaxial audio cable
(both optional) is required when an optional Dolby Digital decoder or

MPEG audio decoder is used.]
Notes when connecting the optical digital cable (optional)
•Remove the dust protection cap from the connector and connect the

cable firmly so that the configurations of both the cable and the
connector match (B).

•Keep the dust protection cap and always reattach the cap when not

using the connector to protect against dust.

For your reference;
•Dolby Digital (AC-3) is a digital sound compression technique de

veloped by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.
Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2-chan-
nei) sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to

be efficiently recorded on a disc.

•Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in CDs. While CDs

are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, DVDs are recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit

up to 96 kHz/24 bit.

• If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the

full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide full
5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles with the

Dolby Surround mark.
