channels when you play a DVD which has
rear sound elements (channels) or is recorded
in Dolby Digital format. For details on the
rear signal components, see “Checking the
audio signal format” (page 44). This function
affects the output of the following jacks:
– LINE OUT L/R (AUDIO) jacks
– LINE (RGB)-TV jack
– DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL)/HDMI OUT
jack when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to
“D-PCM” (page 61).

jack.
Setting the digital output signal
Switches the method of outputting audio
signals when you connect a component such
as an audio component or MD deck with a
digital input jack.
For connection details, see page 18.
Select “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG,”
“DTS,” and “48kHz/96kHz PCM” after
setting “DIGITAL OUT” to “ON.”
If you connect a component that is
incompatible with the selected audio signal, a
loud noise (or no sound) may be heard from
the speakers, risking damage to your ears or
speakers.
