Hint
•If the output is Dolby Digital-encoded audio, connect a Dolby Digital decoder and set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “BITSTREATM” for the AUDIO setting in the setup mode. (Refer to pages 23 and 25.)
•If the output is DTS-encoded audio, connect a DTS decoder and set “DTS” to “BITSTREAM” for the AUDIO setting in the setup mode. (Refer to pages 23 and 25.)
•The audio source on a disc in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD or DAT deck.
•Unless connected to a Dolby Digital and/or DTS decoder, set “DOLBY DIGITAL” and “DPCM” or “DTS” to “OFF” for audio output in the setup mode. Playing a DVD using incorrect settings may generate noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers. (Refer to pages 23 and 25.)
