PCM
Dolby Digital is a sound compression technique elaborated by Dolby
Laboratories for digital audio multichannel signals.The Dolby Digital
system supports any audio channel configuration, from stereo sound
(2 channels) up to the digital “surround” sound 5.1.
The linear PCM is a signal recording format used for CDs.
CDs are recorded in 44.1kHz /16bits.
DVDs are recorded in 48kHz / 16 bits, or even up to 96kHz / 24 bits.
If you have a Dolby Surround amplifier/decoder, you can still gain the
benefits of surround sound,
- either with titles with Dolby Surround label
- or with DVD films whose sound has been recorded through Dolby Digital
5.1 channels.
In both cases,your Pro Logic decoder must be connected to the 2- channel
analog output of your TV/DVD set (see page 24 cinch audio outputs).

Then use the Auto update or the manual channel set-up, of the
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW to search for the video recorder signal
(refer to the Manual set-up section on page 7).
If you bought an Easy Link video recorder before 1997, it is possible that
the recording function is not supported.
Setting up channels
The NexTView Link can be used to automatically download the terrestrial
and cable channels already stored in the TV/DVD to the video
recorder.They will be arranged in the same order on both items of
equipment.Refer to the instructions for your video recorder to find out how
this is done.
The player’s digital audio (optical) output jack fully complies with
the international standard governing this type of jack (IEC 958). It is
designed exclusively for connection to a Dolby Digital or a suitable
decoder.
Do not use the DigitalAudio Output jacks to connect to an equipment
other than a Dolby Digital or a suitable decoder. Such a connection can
create a high level of noise that may be harmful to your ears,
and could damage headphones or speakers.
Older digital equipment, some of which are not fully compliant with
IEC 958, are likely to cause this problem.To avoid this drawback, use
the «audio-digital output» menu (see page 14) to convert the Dolby
Digital audio-digital output from bit to linear PCM flux.
Immediate recording
The NexTView Link function can be used to record what you are currently
watching.
You simply press the relevant button on the video recorder remote control
(usually REC) and the recorder will automatically switch to the same
channel as theTV/DVD and start recording.
Refer to the instructions for your video recorder to find out the relevant
button to press and for more information on the subject.
