Getting started
To connect to a digital audio device
You can enhance the playback sound quality by connecting either of the unit's DIGITAL OUT jacks to the digital input of
an amplifier, etc. by using an optical or a coaxal digital cable (optional). The digital audio signal from a disc will be
transferred directly. If you connect the unit to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder using
an optional digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.
For a digital connection, connect the unit's DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to the digital input of a digital audio
device using an optical or a coaxial digital cable.

NOTES
• When you make digital connection, we recommend also to make the analog connection, because, depending on discs, no
signal may be output from the DIGITAL OUT.
• When you connect the unit's DIGITAL OUT to a digital audio device, before using, set "DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT" in the
"AUDIO" preferences correctly according to the connected audio device. If "DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT" is not set correctly, loud
noise may be generated from speakers, causing damage to them. See "DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT" on page 51.
• When you connect the unit's DIGITAL OUT to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder (or amplifier with a built-in decoder) to enjoy
surround sound, the unit's "D. RANGE COMPRESSION" setting in the "AUDIO" preferences is invalid. Make appropriate
surround audio settings on the decoder.
• If your digital audio device has an AV COMPU LINK terminal, you can use the AV COMPU LINK function. See "AV COMPU LINK
remote control system" on page 59 for details.
