Digital Out

The following setup items switch the method of
outputting audio signals when you connect a
component such as an amplifier (receiver) with a
digital input jack to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT

For connection details, see “Connecting to Your
AV Amplifier (Receiver)” on page 24.
Press ENTER, and select “Dolby Digital” or

If you connect a component that does not accept
the selected audio signal, a loud noise (or no
sound) will come out from the speakers, and may
affect your ears or cause speaker damage.

compatible with Dolby Digital signals, D-PCM signals
will be automatically output, even when “Dolby
Digital” is selected.

signals for digital broadcasts. To hear Dolby Digital,
use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks.
