This setting has an effect on the digital signal output from the
DIGITAL OUT terminals and the HDMI terminal.
When “i.LINK” is set to “60958”, this setting also has an	ENGLISH
effect on the digital signal output from the i.LINK (AUDIO)
terminal.
Select the format of different digital audio types for different
purposes, as detailed below:
Dolby Digital
Select either “Stream” for use with Dolby Digital compatible
amplifiers or “PCM” for use when connecting to a CD
recorder, MD deck, etc.
DTS
Select either “Stream” for connection to a DTS-compatible
amplifier, or “PCM” for use with more general equipment.
Do not select the Stream option when connecting to non-
DTS-compatible equipment.
MPEG Audio
Select either “Stream” for connection to an MPEG-compatible
amplifier, or “PCM” for use with more general equipment.
Down Sample
Enable (ON) or disable (OFF) downsampling. That is, all digital
signals are converted, and output at 48kHz or 44.1kHz. Use
this if your amplifier does not have 96kHz/88.2kHz capability.

Notes on the DIGITAL OUT (coaxial or optical) terminals:

•Even when downsampling is turned off, some discs are automatically downsampled to 48kHz or 44.1kHz.

•Even when downsampling is turned off, all discs with sampling frequencies of 192kHz or 176.4kHz are always downsampled to 96kHz or 88.2kHz respectively.

Note

<When you select “Stream”, your amplifier will decode the signal.

<When your amplifier is not compatible with Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG, select “PCM”.

<If you want to output multi-channel PCM signals from the HDMI terminal, set all three settings (Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG) to “PCM”, and set Analog out to “Multi channel”.

<If you select “Stream” with the HDMI amplifier not compatible with Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG, converted signal will be output from the HDMI terminal.
