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 84). With a digital connection, audio of a disc recorded with DTS
sounds abnormal in this case.
• DVD Video Disc
The digital connection illustrated above shows connection to audio equipment
that is not equipped with a decoder. Because of this, it cannot produce 5.1
channel sound when playing a DVD whose audio track is recorded in Dolby
Digital (5.1 channel), Dolby Surround (Pro Logic), DTS or MPEG Audio. To play
the audio on such a DVD, you must configure a digital connection with an audio
processor or amplifier equipped with a decoder for the type of audio on the
DVD you are attempting to play. (See page 34.) If you do not have an audio
processor or amplifier equipped with the proper decoder, use a 2-channel
analogue (Down Mix) connection. (See pages 32 and 58.) Note that discs
recorded with Linear PCM audio should play normally using the digital
connection illustrated above.
Digital Connection to an MD to Record a CD
When you are using a digital connection to record the contents of a CD to
an MD, the track numbers of the CD may not match the track numbers
recorded to the MD.
