This player's digital audio (optical and coaxial)  
output jacks:  
fully comply with the international standard governing this type of  
jack (IEC 958). They are designed exclusively for connection to a  
Dolby Digital (AC-3) or MPEG2 audio receiver or a suitable  
decoder.  
Do not use ...  
the Digital Audio Output jacks to connect to an equipment other  
than a Dolby Digital (AC-3) or MPEG 2 receiver 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 is not fully compliant  
with IEC 958, is likely to cause this problem.  
The same should be applied with the so-called "optical or coaxial  
REC.OUT jack" of Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoders, when they are  
connected to this DVD player. Since REC.OUT is a 1:1 copy of  
the decoder's input, no other equipment should be connected  
there.

Surround sound  
Your DVD player  
will always deliver a high-quality 2-channel (stereo) signal to the audio output, regardless  
of whether the soundtracks on DVD movies are in 2-channel stereo, in Dolby Surround,  
in Dolby Digital (AC-3) or in MPEG2 audio multichannel. In some cases the soundtracks  
may be single channel (mono) only, then the output will also be mono only.  
In order to benefit from the full digital 5-channel surround sound (Dolby Digital or  
MPEG2 audio) you need an external appropriate decoder, which has to be hooked up to  
the special optical or coaxial audio digital output (page 36/37).  
Dolby Digital (AC-3) *  
Dolby Digital are digital sound compression techniques developed by the Dolby  
Laboratories for digital multi-channel audio signals. The Dolby Digital system supports  
any configuration of audio channels, from stereo (2-channel) sound, up to 5.1 digital  
surround.  
MPEG2 audio multichannel  
The newly-developed MPEG2 audio multichannel technology is implemented for digital  
sound compression.  
The MPEG2 audio multichannel system supports any configuration of audio channels,  
from stereo (2-channel) sound, up to 7.1 digital channels including 5.1 surround sound.
