Digital audio connections
Connecting to a decoder with Dolby Digital processing
or MPEG processing A
When DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital or MPEG audio are played,
Dolby Digital bitstream or MPEG audio bitstream is sent to the
player’s OPTICAL digital audio output connector or COAXIAL
digital audio output connector. When the player is connected to a
Dolby Digital or MPEG audio decoder via one of these output
sockets, you can enjoy theater-quality audio in your home. An
optical digital cable or coaxial audio cable (both optional) is required
when a Dolby Digital decoder or MPEG audio decoder is used.
Notes when connecting an optical digital cable: -
(
B) Remove the dust protection cap from the connector.
Ensuring both cable and socket are of the correct configuration,
connect the cable firmly (the plug will ‘click’ into place).
Keep the dust protection cap and always re-attach the cap
when not in use to protect the optical socket from dust and dirt.

For your reference:
Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique devel-
oped 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 48kHz/16
bit up to 96kHz/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 pro-
vide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from
titles with the Dolby Surround mark.

Definition of terms
Angle
Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes, which have been
simultaneously shot from a number of different angles (the same
scene is shot from the front, from the left side, from the right side,
etc.). With such discs, the ANGLE button can be used to view the
scene from different angles.
Chapter number
These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. A title is subdivided into
many sections, each of which is numbered, and specific parts of
video presentations can be searched quickly using these numbers.
DVD
This refers to a high-density optical disc on which high-quality
pictures and sound have been recorded by means of digital sig-
nals. Incorporating a new video compression technology (MPEG)
and high-density recording technology, DVD enables esthetically
pleasing full-motion video to be recorded over long periods of
time (for instance, a whole movie can be recorded).
Subtitle
These are the printed lines appearing at the bottom of the screen,
which translate or transcribe the dialogue. They are recorded on
DVD discs.
Time number
This indicates the playtime recorded on DVD discs. When a disc
contains two or more movies, these movies are numbered as title
1, title 2, etc.
Track number
These numbers are assigned to the tracks which are recorded on
CDs. They enable specific tracks to be located quickly.
