A few DVDs include a PCM soundtrack with a sample rate of 96 kHz. This provides the highest possible audio performance from
If your audio processor will accept a 96 kHz PCM audio signal, set this option to “96kHz”. If not, then set this option to “96kHz > 48kHz”. In this case the original soundtrack will be downsampled to the lower sample rate to allow compatibility.
This setting affects both the “Compressed +
PCM” output and the “PCM Only” output.
MPEG Audio
