When connecting an AV amplifier (with an optical/coaxial
digital audio input connector) without Dolby Digital or dts
decoder, be sure to select “PCM” of “2 Dolby Digital” and
“Off” of “3 dts”. If “Bitstream” is selected, any attempt to play
DVD may cause such a high level of noise that it may be
harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.

When “PCM” is selected and “Yes” is selected for the speak-
ers other than the front speakers at “8 Speaker Setting” (see
page 40), only audio corresponding to the front speakers will
be output from the player’s digital audio output connector
during playback of the DVD recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1 ch
surround. In this case, select “No” for the speakers other
than the front speakers at “8 Speaker Setting”.

The audio which is output from the player’s audio output
connectors (6CH DISCRETE and MIXED 2CH) is also set to

To enjoy high quality sound at 96 kHz, connect the amplifier
or decoder directly to the audio output connectors, not to the
