Caution for optical digital audio output connector:
• When connecting an amplifier (with an Optical Digital Input Connector) which does
not contain the Dolby Digital or DTS receiver, be sure to select “PCM” at “Dolby
Digital” and “PCM” at “dts” of the Settings for DVD Operation “Audio Output”
(see p. 53).
Otherwise, any attempt to play DVDs may cause such a high level of noise that it
may be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.
• When a Dolby Digital/DTS receiver is connected, please select “Bitstream” at “dts” or
“Dolby Digital” of the Settings for DVD Operation “Audio Output”.
If “PCM” is selected, there will be stereo sound. (See p. 53.)
• CDs can be played as usual.
Note:
• Some DTS receivers which do not support DVD-DTS interface may not work properly with
DECK.
