DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT

To connect the player’s digital output to an external device equipped with a digital input, this item must be set correctly. See “Appendix A: Digital output signal chart” on page 42 for details about the relation between the setting and output signals.

Setting options

PCM ONLY, DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM, STREAM/PCM

[PCM ONLY]: select when you connect the DIGITAL OUT jack of the player to the linear PCM digital input of other audio equipment.

[DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM]: select when you connect the digital input of a Dolby Digital decoder or an amplifier with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder.

When this option is selected, playing back a DTS-encoded disc, or disc recorded by the MPEG Multichannel format outputs a linear PCM digital signal.

[STREAM/PCM]: select when you connect the digital input of an amplifier with a built-in DTS, MPEG Multichannel, or Dolby Digital decoder, or the stand-alone unit of such a decoder.

NOTE

When [STREAM/PCM] is selected, note the following points:

-With some DVD VIDEO discs that are not fully copy-protected, a 20 or 24 bit digital signal may be output.

-A signal recorded with the 96 kHz or higher sampling frequency is output from the DIGITAL OUT jack with the 48 kHz sampling frequency.

-When playing a DVD VIDEO or Audio CD disc with DTS, use a DTS decoder to get correct signals from your speakers.

ANALOG OUT

To play back a DVD VIDEO disc recorded with surround multichannel audio correctly, you must set this item properly according to your audio system.

(This function does not work when the 3D PHONIC function is activated.)

Setting options

multichannel surround audio by connecting the player’s AUDIO OUT jacks to a surround decoder.

NOTE

With some DVD AUDIO discs, the track is prohibited from down- mixing to 2-channel stereo audio. With such discs, even if you select [2-CH DOLBY SURROUND] or [2-CH STEREO], down- mixing function does not work. In this case, [MULTI CH] appears on the display window for about 2 to 3 seconds.
