Connection
As this unit has built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoders (á page 29), you can enjoy discs recorded with these systems by connecting this unit to the
6-channel input terminals on an AV amplifier (connection [B] below). However, to enjoy the special sound effects available with AV amplifiers that
can make you feel like you were in a cinema or hall, connect this unit digitally to the AV amplifier (connection [A] below).
Use analog connection [B] to enjoy the high quality audio (sampling frequencies of 192 kHz and 96 kHz) and multi-channel audio found
on DVD-Audio. If the disc is copyright-protected, the audio can only be output through the digital output terminal if it is converted to
48 kHz.

Ensure the following conditions are met.
³There is no copy guard recorded on the disc.
³The recording equipment can handle a sampling frequency of
48 kHz/16 bit.
To make a digital recording
