IMPORTANT NOTE:Caution for optical digital audio 
output connector:
  When connecting an ampli  er (with an Optical 
digital input connector) which does not contain 
the Dolby Digital or dts decoder, be sure to 
select “
PCM ” at “Dolby Digital” and “ PCM ” at 
“dts” of the Settings for DVD Operation “AUDIO 
OUTPUT” (see page 61). 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 “PCM” is 
selected, there will be 
stereo  sound. (See 
page 61).
  Video CDs and CDs can be played as usual.
  Some dts decoders which do not support  DVD-dts Interface may not work properly with

selected by the Settings for DVD Operation. (See

2  Sound having 96 kHz sampling is converted into 48  kHz sampling when it is output from the unit’s optical 
digital audio output connector.
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 ef  ciently 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 bene  t 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.
