Dolby Digital gives you the capability to enjoy programs in surround sound. An external decoder is required to enjoy this feature. Refer to your decoder user’s guide.

Note : Not all programs contain a Dolby Digital sound track.

The receiver uses an optical port for outputting digital audio. The optical output can provide two audio data types: Dolby Digital and Linear PCM (only Dolby

Digital can provide full 5.1-channel sound).

1. Connect an external Dolby Digital decoder to the receiver's back panel
