Connecting digital audio equipment
By using a commercially available optical digital cable, you can enjoy
surround sound with the effect of being in a movie theatre 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 37).
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.
