Audio equipment with

Some Audio CDs and VIDEO CDs have a short silent section between musical tracks. When sound from discs
such as these is digitally recorded by connecting the Player directly to a digital recorder (such as an MD player),
the music may be recorded continuously and track numbers may be lost.

■ Digital Connection to Audio Equipment or MD Player without a Dolby Digital Decoder
• Audio CD or VIDEO CD

Play the disc as you normally would, with the audio mode set to “L+R” (see page 63). With a digital
connection, audio of a disc recorded with DTS sounds abnormal in this case.

• DVD

With a digital connection, audio cannot be produced from a DVD recorded with Dolby Digital (5.1 channel),
Dolby Surround (Pro Logic), DTS or MPEG Audio, so you should use an analogue connection to play such
discs. Discs with linear PCM audio should play normally.

Connecting an amplifier with a Dolby Digital/DTS/MPEG Audio digital surround processor or a Dolby Digital/
DTS/MPEG Audio surround processor to your Player’s optical/coaxial digital jack provides richer and more
powerful audio play.

• This connection is not possible if the processor or amplifier to which you want to connect does not have an optical/

coaxial digital input jack.
