Audio output from the optical/coaxial digital audio output connectors:

For your reference :

Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed by the

Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

A

Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2-channel) sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to be efficiently recorded on a disc.

Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in CDs. While Cds are

recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, DVDs are recorded in 48kHz/16 bit up to 96kHz/24 bit . If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1channel Dolby

Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround mark.

Caution for the optical/coaxial digital audio output connector:

Do not connect an amplifier (with an optical/coaxial digital input connector) which does not contain the Dolby Digital or MPEG audio decoder.

An attempt to play DVDs through an amplifier without the correct or MPEG decoder, may produce extreme levels of noise. This could damage both your ears & your loudspeakers.

VCD and Audio CDs can be played as normal.
