Enjoying digital audio output from the
digital audio output connector
Notes on audio output from the optical digital
audio output connector
*1 The type of audio output from the connector can
be selected by the Settings for DVD Operation.
(See page 46.)
*2 Sound having 96 kHz sampling is converted into
48 kHz sampling when it is output from the unit’s
optical digital audio output connector.
For your reference:
• Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression
technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories
Licensing Corporation. 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 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/
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 5.1 channel
Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles
with the Dolby Surround mark. For information on
Panasonic or Technics Dolby Pro Logic Surround
Sound Decoders please contact your local dealer.
