Getting Started
Connect an analog amplifier to enjoy high-quality stereo sound 
with sampling frequencies of 96 kHz.
„ Analog  connectionIMPORTANT NOTE:
Caution for optical digital audio output connector:
•  Be sure to refer to pages 67-69 regarding output settings of Dolby Digital, 
dts, and PCM.
•  CDs can be played as usual.
•  Audio from the Digital Audio Out terminal is only output during playback.
•  When connecting an amplifier which contains the Dolby Digital or dts 
decoder, be sure to select “Bitstream”. When connecting an amplifier 
which does not contain the Dolby Digital or dts decoder, be sure to 
select “PCM”. (See pages 67-69.) Otherwise, attempting to play a DVD 
may cause such a high level of noise that it may harm your hearing and 
damage your speakers.
Notes:•  Some dts decoders which do not support DVD-dts Interface may not work 
properly with the unit.
•  Avoid bending/twisting the optical digital cable when connecting.
For your reference:•  Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed by 
the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. 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.
•  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. For information on Panasonic or Technics Dolby 
Pro Logic Surround Sound Decoders please contact your local dealer.
