•My AV receiver is definitely compatible with 96 kHz/88.2 kHz Linear PCM audio, but it doesn’t seem to work with this player. What’s wrong?

For digital copy-protection purposes, some 96 kHz/88.2 kHz DVD discs only output digital audio downsampled to 48 kHz/44.1 kHz. This is not a malfunction.

To fully take advantage of the high sampling rate audio, connect the analog audio outputs to your amplifier/receiver.

•Why can’t I hear SACD audio through the digital outputs?

SACD audio is only available through the analog outputs. This is not a malfunction. Some DVD-Audio discs too only output audio through the analog outputs.

•Is it better to listen to DVD-Audio discs through the analog outputs?

Some DVD-Audio discs do not output anything through the digital outputs, and multichannel discs are downmixed to stereo for the digital output. In addition, high sampling rate DVD-Audio discs (higher than 96 kHz) automatically downsample audio output from the digital outputs.

Using the multichannel analog audio outputs for DVD-Audio have none of these limitations.

•My DVD-Audio disc starts playing, but then suddenly stops!

The disc may have been illegally copied.

•I’ve connected to a HDMI compatible component but I can’t get any signal and the front panel HDMI indicator won’t light!

Make sure that you’ve selected this player as the HDMI input in the settings for the component you’re using. You may need to refer to the instruction manual of the component to do this. See Connecting using HDMI on page 16 for more on HDMI compatibility.

•Why can't I hear SACD audio through the optical/coaxial digital outputs or the HDMI interface?

SACD audio is only available through the analog outputs. This is not a malfunction. Also, some DVD-Audio discs only output audio through the analog outputs.

•There’s no picture from the HDMI output!

This player cannot display pictures from DVI compatible sources. See Connecting using HDMI on page 16 for more on HDMI compatibility.

Make sure the resolution on this player matches that of the component you have connected using HDMI. See HDMI Resolution on page 41 to change the HDMI resolution.
