Connecting an optical fiber cable (commercially available) to the digital audio input connector (OPTICAL)
Line up in proper direction
Line up the cable in the proper directly, then insert it
securely as far as it goes.
NOTES:
• Harsh noise that could harm your ears or damage the speakers is generated when a DVD recorded in DTS
is played while using a decoder, etc., that is not DTS-compatible.
• When playing copyright-protected linear PCM or packed PCM DVDs, in consideration of copyrights, no digital
signals are output for sources exceeding 48 kHz/16 bits. When playing such sources, either set “LPCM
(44.1 kHz/48 kHz)” under “AUDIO SETUP” at “SETUP” to “ON” (See pages 19~21.) or make analog
connections. (See page 9.)
• When making digital connections to an AV amplifier that is not compatible with 96 kHz/88.2 kHz signals, set
“LPCM (44.1 kHz/48 kHz)” under “AUDIO SETUP” at “SETUP” to “ON”. (See pages 19~21.)
• With Super audio CDs, digital audio signals cannot be output. Use analog connections. (See page 9.)

*1 Only 48 kHz/16 bit sources are output.
*2 Only 44.1 kHz/16 bit sources are output.
*3 44.1 kHz/16-bit PCM signals are output during CD layer playback.
• Down-mixed to 2 channels for multi-channel PCM sources. (Only the front left and right channels are output for
sources for which down-mixing is prohibited.)
• When “DIGITAL OUT : OFF” is selected at the PURE DIRECT MODE, digital signals are not output from the
digital audio output at this time.
• Bitstream signals are signals that are compressed and converted into digital format. They are decoded into
multi-channel audio signals (5.1-channels, etc.) by the decoder.
• Linear PCM audio is a signal recording format used for music CDs.
While signals are recorded at 44.1 kHz/16 bit for music CDs, for DVDs they are recorded at 44.1 kHz/16 bit to
192 kHz/24 bit, providing higher sound quality than music CDs.
• Packed PCM signals are high sound quality compressed PCM signals that are decompressed with virtually no
loss of data.

(4) Connecting to a AV amplifier with a Built-in decoder
When DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS are played, Dolby Digital or DTS bitstream signals are output from
the DVD player’s digital audio output connectors. If a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder is connected, you can achieve
sound with the power and sense of presence of a movie theater or concert hall.
