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.
