Setting the Digital Audio Output To Be Compatible with Your AV Component

This player is capable of digital audio output for Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG, and signals with a sampling rate of 96 kHz. Make settings in the Setup screen Audio 1 menu to reflect the capabilities of the components that you have made digital connections to.

Notes

•If you have already completed the Setup Navigator screen operations, the settings on this page have already been set by the player.

•If you have made only stereo line connections (analog) using the supplied audio cord, it is not necessary to make any changes in this menu.

Dolby Digital Out

This player is capable of outputting the Dolby Digital surround sound audio signal. When the player is connected to an AV component that has a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, select “Dolby Digital”. This player can also convert the Dolby Digital signal to a digital Linear PCM signal, the same digital signal output from a CD. Select “Dolby Digital 3 PCM” when you have made connections to an amplifier or receiver with a Dolby Pro Logic decoder or a Digital Analog Converter (DAC).

Note

When the Virtual Dolby Digital function is on during playback, and “Dolby Digital 3 PCM” is selected in the [Dolby Digital Out] setting in the Setup screen Audio 1 menu, there is no audio output from the digital output jacks.

DTS Out

This player is capable of outputting DTS digital audio for DVDs recorded in DTS. When this player is connected to an AV component that has a built-in DTS decoder, select “DTS”. If your system is not equipped to decode DTS, select “Off”. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with your audio components if you are unsure about compatibility with DTS.

Note

If you have made digital audio connections to component(s) not equipped to decode the DTS digital bitstream, be sure to select “Off”. If a DTS signal is output without decoding, the output is digital noise that could potentially cause damage to your speakers.

96 kHz PCM Out

This player is capable of outputting digital signals with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz. If you have made connections to a component capable of processing this signal rate, select “96 kHz” for the signal to be output as is. As some components are incapable of processing digital signal input with sampling rates of 96 kHz, selecting “96 kHz 3 48 kHz” compresses the signal to a standard signal with a sampling rate of 48 kHz.

Notes

•On DVDs that contain copy protection, the 96 kHz signal may only be output from the analog audio jacks. When this type of disc is encountered, even if “96 kHz” is selected, the player automatically outputs the digital audio signal at a compressed rate of 48 kHz.

•When a DVD is played back in the letter box format, Linear PCM digital audio playback is output is automatically downsampled to 48 kHz (when the original signal is 96 kHz). In order to hear audio at the sampling rate of 96 kHz, set the Setup screen Video menu [TV Screen] setting to either “Wide” or “4:3 (Pan & Scan)” (page 43).

•Changes to the [96 kHz PCM Out] setting cannot be made when a disc is playing.

MPEG Out

This player is capable of outputting the MPEG digital bitstream. When the player is connected to an AV component that has a built-in MPEG decoder, select the “MPEG” setting. Otherwise, select “MPEG 3 PCM” to convert the digital signal to the PCM signal, the digital signal output from a CD.
