■DTS Out

This player is capable of outputting DTS digital audio for DVDs recorded in DTS. When this player is connected to an AV component that has a built-in DTS decoder, select [DTS]. If your system is not equipped to decode DTS, select [Off]. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with your audio components if you are unsure about compatibility with DTS.

Settings: Off (Factory setting)

Note

If you have made digital audio connections to component(s) not equipped to decode the DTS digital bitstream, be sure to select [Off]. If a DTS signal is output without decoding, the output is digital noise that could potentially cause damage to your speakers.

■96 kHz PCM Out

This player is capable of outputting digital signals with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz. If you have made connections to a component capable of processing this signal rate, select [96 kHz] for the signal to be output as is. As some components are incapable of processing digital signal input with sampling rates of 96 kHz, selecting [96 kHz 3 48 kHz] compresses the signal to a standard signal with a sampling rate of 48 kHz.

Settings: 96 kHz 3 48 kHz (Factory setting )

96 kHz

Note

On DVDs that contain copy protection, the 96 kHz signal may only

be output from the analog audio jacks.

■MPEG Out

This player is capable of outputting the MPEG digital bitstream. When the player is connected to an AV component that has a built-in MPEG decoder, select the [MPEG] setting. Otherwise, select [MPEG 3 PCM] to convert the digital signal to the PCM signal, the digital signal output from a CD.

Settings: MPEG

MPEG 3 PCM (Factory setting)

■Digital Out Expert

Depending on your preferences and the type of connections made, you may opt not to have the digital audio signal output at all. When this setting is set to [Off] there is no signal output from the digital audio output jacks.

Make changes to the [Digital Out] setting in the Setup screen Audio menu in the [Expert] menu mode (page 39).

Settings: On (Digital bitstream is output) (Factory setting) Off (Digital bitstream is not output)
