Setups for the optical digital connection
• To listen to the sound through speakers connected to a receiver
(amplifier) which has a digital connector and lacks a built-in DTS,
Dolby Digital or MPEG decoder, or to output the sound to a digital
component such as a DAT or MD deck
Set the “AUDIO SETUP” items in the setup display (page 91) as shown in
the illustration below. These are the default settings.
z If you have a digital component with a built-in DTS, Dolby Digital or MPEG
decoder
You can enjoy multi-channel surround sound by connecting the component via the
OPTICAL OUT connector using an optical digital connecting cord (not supplied).
For details on hookups and settings, see page 22.
Notes
When you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord,
do not set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG” to “MPEG” and
“DTS” to “ON” in “DIGITAL OUT.” If you do, a loud noise will suddenly come
out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be
damaged.
• When you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord, set
“VES” to “OFF” in the Control Menu display (page 60). Otherwise, the player will
not output the following signals from the OPTICAL OUT connector.
– Dolby Digital signals (when you select “DIGITAL OUT” in “AUDIO SETUP” and
set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “D-PCM”)
– MPEG audio
• When you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord and
output the signals which do not reproduce the Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) effect,
set “DOWNMIX” to “NORMAL” in “AUDIO SETUP” in the setup display.
• You cannot make digital audio recordings of discs recorded in multi-channel
surround format directly using an MD deck or DAT deck.
