About sounds reproduced through the terminals
• Through the analog terminals (AV-OUT/cordless headphones): 2-channel signal is emitted.
When playing a multi-channel encoded disc, multi-channel signals are downmixed.
(AUDIO—DOWN MIX: see page 30.)
• Through DIGITAL OUT (optical):
Digital signals (Linear PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG Audio) are emitted through this
terminal. (For more details, see table below.)
To reproduce multi-channel sounds such as Dolby Digital, DTS, and MPEG Audio, connect
an amplifier or a decoder compatible with these multi-channel sources to this terminal, and set
"DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT" correctly. (See page 30.)
Output signals through the DIGITAL OUT terminal
Output signals are different depending on the "DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT" setting on the setup
menu (see page 30).
