Connecting digital audio equipment
Preparation
US
By using a commercially available optical digital cable to connect digital
audio equipment, you can enjoy surround sound with the effect of being in
a movie theater or a concert hall. When connecting the console to audio
equipment with digital connectors, refer to the instructions supplied with
the device to be connected.
Notes
• If you connect the console to audio equipment using an optical digital cable, it may
affect the audio output of some PlayStation®2 format software with the result that
no sound is produced. If this happens, use a cable such as the supplied AV cable
(integrated audio/video) and connect it to the console's AV MULTI OUT
connector. Do not use an optical digital cable.
• After connecting digital audio equipment, set "Digital Out (Optical)" to "On" in the
System Configuration menu. For details, see "Digital Out (Optical)" ( page 38).
1 Insert the analog controller (DUALSHOCK®2) into a controller
port of the console.
Note
Some software titles designate a specific controller port to be used. Refer to the
instructions supplied with the software for details.
