Digital output

Change these settings when you have connected equipment through this unit’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminals (OPTICAL or COAXIAL).

Refer also to Common procedures (➡ page 30) and the Audio sec- tion in Summary of settings (➡ page 31).

PCM Down Conversion

Select how to output the high-quality audio signals (sampling fre- quencies of 96 kHz and 88.2 kHz) on discs that do not have copy- right protection. Choose the settings to suit the equipment you have connected.

¤1 The equipment cannot output signals of 88.2 kHz or more if the setting is “No” and the equipment is unable to handle these signals.

¤2 This setting allows the re-master settings (➡ page 23) to work on the digital signals from CDs.

¤3 Choose this setting when you have connected equipment that cannot handle signals of 88.2 kHz or more, as the equipment will be unable to output audio when the re-master circuit is func- tioning.

Note

Signals are down-sampled to either 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz despite the above settings if they have a sampling frequency of 176.4 kHz or more or are copyright protected.

Dolby Digital

Bitstream (Factory preset):

When you have connected a unit with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder.

PCM:

When you have connected a unit that doesn’t have a built-in Dolby Digital decoder.¢

DTS Digital Surround

PCM (Factory preset):

When you have connected a unit that doesn’t have a built-in DTS decoder.¢

Bitstream:

When you have connected a unit with a built-in DTS decoder.

¢These changes to digital audio output must be made, other- wise bitstream signals the decoder cannot handle will be out- put. If these signals are output, “noise” will be output which can cause harm to your ears and speakers.
