(pulse-code modulation) signal for use with an
external Dolby

In the Optical Output Format field, select either
Dolby Digital or PCM, depending on your device
(“Selecting the optical audio output format” on
page 39).
Note:
•
Some audio systems may not be compatible
with Dolby Digital bitstream signals. Older
audio systems that are not compatible with
standard optical out signals may not work
properly, creating a high noise level that
may damage speakers or headphones.
THIS DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY YOUR
WARRANTY.
•
The DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal may not
output some digital audio sources because
of copy restrictions.
