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.
