Notes on audio output from the optical digital audio output connector
Enjoying digital audio output from the digital audio output connector
*1 The type of audio output from the connector can be selected by the Settings for DVD
Operation. (See p. 53.)
*2 When “LPCM(DVD)” is set to OFF in the DVD Main Menu, only 48 kHz sampling/16 bit is ouput.
When set to ON, sampling of sound quality greater than 48 kHz/16 bit is reduced to 48 kHz/16
bit. (See page 53.)
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.
