When  DVDs  recorded  in  Dolby  Digital  or  dts  are  played,  Dolby  Digital  bitstream  or
dts bitstream is output from the DECK OPTICAL digital audio output connector.
When DECK is connected to a Dolby Digital decoder or dts decoder, you can enjoy
theater-quality  audio  in  your  home.  [An  optical  digital  audio  cable  (optional)  is
required  when  an  optional  Dolby  Digital  decoder  or  dts  decoder  is  used.]
Notes on connecting an optical
digital audio cable (optional)
• Firmly  connect  the  cable  to  the
connector.
Caution for optical digital audio output connector:
• When  connecting  an  amplifier  (with  an  optical  digital  input  connector)  which  does  not
contain  the  Dolby  Digital  or  dts  decoder,  be  sure  to  select “OFF”  at  “Dolby  Digital”  and
“OFF”  at  “dts”  of  the  Settings  for  DVD  Operation  “AUDIO  OUTPUT”  (see  p.  50).
Otherwise,  any  attempt  to  play  DVDs  may  cause  such  a  high  level  of  noise  that  it  may
be  harmful  to  your  ears  and  damage  your  speakers.
• When  a  dts  decoder  is  connected,  please  select  “Bitstream”  at  “dts”  of  the  Settings  for
DVD  Operation  “AUDIO  OUTPUT”.
If “OFF”  is  selected,  there  will  be  no  sound.  (See  p.  50).
• Video  CDs  and  CDs  can  be  played  as  usual.
Note:
• Some  dts  decoders  which  do  not  support  DVD-dts  interface  may  not  work  properly  with  DECK.
