Dust cap
Line up in proper direction
Remove the dust cap, line up the cable in the proper
directly, then insert it securely as far as it goes.
NOTE:
•
Store the dust cap in a safe place, and be careful
not to lose it.
When not using the terminal, attach the cap to
protect the terminal from dust.
NOTES:
•
Harsh noise that could harm your ears or damage the speakers is generated when a DVD recorded in DTS
is played while using a decoder, etc., that is not DTS-compatible.
• When playing copyright-protected linear PCM or packed PCM DVDs, in consideration of copyrights, no
digital signals are output for sources exceeding 48 kHz/16 bits. When playing such sources, either set
“LPCM (44.1 kHz/48 kHz)” under “AUDIO SETUP” at “SETUP” to “ON” (see page 18) or make analog
connections. (See page 9.)
• When making digital connections to an AV amplifier that is not compatible with 96 kHz/88.2 kHz signals,
set “LPCM (44.1 kHz/48 kHz)” under “AUDIO SETUP” at “SETUP” to “ON”. (See page 18.)

*1 Only 48 kHz/16-bit sources are output.
*2 Only 44.1 kHz/16-bit sources are output.
• Down-mixed to 2 channels for multi-channel PCM sources. (Only the front left and right channels are output
for sources for which down-mixing is prohibited.)
• When “OFF” is selected, digital signals are not output from the digital audio output at this time.
• Linear PCM audio is a signal recording format used for music CDs.
While signals are recorded at 44.1 kHz/16 bit for music CDs, for DVDs they are recorded at 44.1kHz/16bit to
192kHz/24 bit, providing higher sound quality than music CDs.
• Packed PCM signals are high sound quality compressed PCM signals that are decompressed with virtually no
loss of data.
