The reproduced disc sound will be output in the most suitable format automatically through the connected speakers and output connector/jacks on the DVD Receiver when “Audio Out Select” in the setting menu is set to “Bitstream” (see page 56).

However, you may need to convert the sound format in different ways depending on your purpose and preference.

For example, when you wish to:

•Listen to the high-frequency (kHz)/high-quantization (bit) format source in its original sound quality (see below), or

•Record the DVD video sound reproduced in the DOLBY DIGITAL format using recording equipment such as an MD recorder connected to the DIGITAL OUTPUT (OPT) connector on the DVD Receiver (see next page).

Notes

•The “Audio Out Select” setting in the setting menu (see page 56) is for automatic selection of the sound conversion method when the disc is inserted. Therefore, the selection in this section will not change the setting of “Audio Out Select” in the setting menu.

•When you turn on the DVD Receiver or replace a disc, the DVD Receiver returns to the automatic setting in the setting menu. (See page 56.)

To Listen to a High-Frequency/High- Quantization Format Source in its Original Sound Quality – 96k Sound

The high frequency/high quantization sound signals below are converted into 48 kHz/16 bit sound signals and sent to the speakers when the “Audio Out Select” (sound signal conversion method) is set to the standard setting, “Bitstream.”

High frequency/high quantization signals

•48 kHz/24 bit

•96 kHz/16 bit

•96 kHz/20 bit

•96 kHz/24 bit

To listen to the high-frequency (kHz)/hight-quantization (bit) format sounds in their original sound quality, follow the steps below.

1

Change the sound signal

conversion method to “96k Sound”

 

following the steps on the left.

 

See a in the table titled “Sound from the

 

speakers” on the opposite page.

 

The DVD videos recorded in 48 kHz/24 bit,

 

96 kHz/16 bit, 96 kHz/20 bit, and 96 kHz/

 

24 bit are reproduced through the

 

speakers at the same kHz and bit rate

 

respectively.

2

If a subwoofer is connected, set the

subwoofer mode to “SW Off.”

 

See “Setting the Subwoofer Mode” on

 

page 19.

 

 

3

Change the sound to stereo.

See “Changing the Sound to Stereo” on

 

page 38.

Note

If the speakers were setup using Smart Configuration (see page 17), the subwoofer data such as characteristic frequency will be erased by the above steps. To recover the data, carry out the Smart Configuration setup again.
