RT-20 Universal Disc Player

Setup

DOLBY DIGITAL OUT

Controls Dolby Digital audio output format when a Dolby Digital source is present and the RT-20 is using a digital audio output connector. This parameter has no effect when using any of the analog output connectors.

Select Bitstream if the associated component is compatible with Dolby Digital sources. The RT-20 will pass Dolby Digital signals directly to the associated component. Select PCM if the associated component is not compatible with Dolby Digital sources. The RT-20 will convert Dolby Digital signals to PCM before passing them to the associated component.

DTS OUT

Controls DTS audio output format when a DTS source is present and the RT-20 is using the digital audio output connector.

Select Bitstream if the associated component is compatible with DTS sources or has a built-in DTS decoder. The RT-20 will pass DTS signals directly to the associated component. Select PCM if the associated component is not compatible with DTS sources. The RT-20 will convert DTS signals to PCM before passing them to the associated component.

If associated components are NOT compatible with DTS sources, they will output DTS noise when:

A DTS source is present.

The DTS Out parameter is set to DTS.

MPEG OUT

Controls MPEG audio output format when an MPEG source is present and the RT-20 is using the digital audio output connector.

Select Bitstream if the associated component is compatible with MPEG sources. The RT-20 will pass MPEG signals directly to the associated component. Select PCM if the associated component is not compatible with MPEG sources. The RT-20 will convert MPEG signals to PCM before passing them to the associated component.

PCM DOWN SAMPLE

If the digital input of the associated component is compatible with high sampling rates (96kHz), set this to OFF. When set to ON, high sampling rate audio is converted to 48kHz. Check the owner’s manual of the associated component for compatibility.

Note:

Even when set to OFF, some discs will only output down sampled audio through the digital outputs. High sampling rate DVD-A discs (192kHz or 176.4kHz) always output audio down sampled to 48kHz or 44.1kHz through the digital outputs. See the “PCM Down Sample Table” on page 3-9 for more information.
