Digital output
[DVD-A][DVD-V]
Change the settings when you have connected equipment through
this unit’s DIGITAL OUT terminal (OPTICAL).
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.

Delay time (b)

[DVD-V] (Dolby Digital, center and surround speakers only)
For optimum listening with 5.1-channel sound, all the speakers, ex-
cept for the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the seat-
ing position. If you have to place the center or surround speakers
closer to the seating position, adjust the delay time to make up for
the difference.
If distance d (from the center speaker) and f (from the surround
speakers) are the same as or greater than e (from the front speak-
ers), leave the delay time as “0”, the factory preset.
If either distance d or f is less than e, find the difference in the
relevant table and change to the recommended setting.
Changing the delay time
1. Press [3, 4, 2, 1] to select the delay time box and press
[ENTER].
2. Press [3, 4] to adjust the delay time and press [ENTER].

2. While listening to the test signal, press [3, 4] to adjust the
volume of the center and surround speakers so they are the
same apparent volume as the front speakers.
(The front speakers cannot be adjusted here.)
3. Press [ENTER].
The test signal stops.
Note
No signal is output for the subwoofer. To adjust its volume, play
something, then return to this screen to adjust to suit your taste.
When you are finished
Press [3, 4, 2, 1] to select “Exit” and press [ENTER].
Note
The unit may be unable to output as set here due to limitations im-
posed by the unit itself or the disc being played. (The FL display’s
“P.PCM” indicator lights or “D.MIX” indicator goes out in these cases.)

Note
≥Some equipment cannot handle sampling frequencies of 88.2 kHz,
even if they can handle 96 kHz. Read your equipment’s operating
instructions for details.
≥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, DTS Digital Surround and

MPEG
Bitstream: Select if the equipment you connected can decode the
signal.
(Factory preset for Dolby Digital)
PCM: Select if the equipment you connected cannot decode the
signal.
(Factory preset for DTS Digital Surround and MPEG)
IMPORTANT
If the equipment you connected cannot decode the signal, the
setting must be changed to PCM. If not, signals the equipment
cannot process will be output by this unit, causing high levels
of noise which can damage your hearing and the speakers.
