Notes when connecting the optical digital cable
•Remove the dust protection cap from the connector and
connect the cable firmly so that the configurations of both
the cable and the connector match (QJ).
•Keep the dust protection cap and always reattach the cap
when not using the connector to protect against dust.
Concerning the digital sound output
Depending on the disc format, either Dolby Digital (AC-3)
sound or Linear PCM sound will be output from the unit's
optical digital output connector (PCM/AC-3) as shown in the
table below.

Note:
•For DVDs, sound having 96 kHz sampling is not output from
the unit’s optical digital output connector.
For your reference:
•Dolby Digital (AC-3) 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. (H)
•Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in audio CDs.
While audio 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.
Caution for the optical digital audio
output connector:
•Do not connect an amplifier (with an optical digital
input connector) which does not contain the Dolby
Digital (AC-3) decoder.
•Otherwise any attempt to play DVDs may cause to
such a high level of noise that it may be harmful to your
ears and damage your speakers.
•Video CDs and audio CDs can be played as they
would normally be played.
