IMPORTANT NOTE: Caution for optical digital audio output connector:

, Be sure to refer to page 50 regarding output settings of Dolby Digital,

DTS, and PCM. , CDs and Video CDs can be played as usual. , Audio from the Digital Audio Out terminal is only output during playback. , When connecting an amplifier which contains the Dotby Digital or DTS

decoder, be sure to setect "Bitstream". When connecting an amplifier

which does not contain the Dolby Digitat or DTS decoder, be sure to

setect "PCM'L (See page 50.) Otherwise, attempting to play a DVD may

cause such a high level of noise that it may harm your hearing and

damage your speakers.

Notes:

, Some DTS decoders which do not support DVD-DTS Interface may not

work properly with the unit.

, Avoid bending/twisting the optical digital cabte when connecting.

For your reference:

, Dotby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed by

the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. Supporting 5.l-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 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 futl

5.1 channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles with the

Dotby Surround mark. For information on Panasonic or Technics Dotby

Pro Logic Surround Sound Decoders please contact your local dealer.
