48kHz). If you play high resolution audio content at the 480p/576p resolution, you may get reduced audio resolution, incomplete audio channels, or even no audio/video output at all. Choosing a higher output resolution such as 720p or above allows enough bandwidth for all high sample rate audio channels.

3.Coaxial/Optical Output: Allows you to set the audio format and the upper sample rate limit for coaxial/optical (S/PDIF) digital outputs. The upper sample rate limit is used to decide whether the player will down-sample audio (the player does not up-sample audio to higher sample rates).

ξ48k LPCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel, linear PCM (LPCM) digital audio format, and sets the maximum sample rate to 48kHz. This is supported by most receivers/amplifiers.

ξ96k LPCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel, linear PCM (LPCM) digital audio format and sets the maximum sample rate to 96kHz. It can result in better audio quality but ensure the receiver/amplifier can support it.

ξ192k LPCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel, linear PCM (LPCM) digital audio format and sets the maximum sample rate to 192kHz. It can result in better audio quality but ensure the receiver/amplifier can support it.

ξBitstream – Passes audio as compressed bit-stream format to the receiver/amplifier. Choose this setting if your receiver/amplifier is capable of decoding Dolby Digital and/or DTS.

NOTE

Due to copyright restrictions and bandwidth limitations, SACD audio cannot be sent through the coaxial/optical audio output, and the high resolution audio on DVD-Audio and Blu-ray discs will be sent out at reduced resolution. Details can be found on page 17.

4.SACD Output: Allows you to select HDMI the audio output format for SACD playback.

ξPCM – SACD data is converted into multi-channel, high-resolution PCM data. The converted PCM data is then output through HDMI or the internal DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) for the analog audio output ports. If you use a receiver that supports HDMI v1.1 to listen to SACD, please select this option. You may also want to select this option if you prefer the sound quality of the DSD-to-PCM conversion.

ξDSD – SACD Direct Stream Digital (DSD) data is output over HDMI without any conversion. For the analog audio outputs, DSD data is converted into an analog signal directly by the internal DAC. If you use a receiver that supports HDMI v1.2a with DSD over HDMI, or you prefer the sound quality of straight DSD to analog, please select this option.

NOTE

Due to the hardware limitation, DSD output is only available from the HDMI 2 OUT port. To listen to SACD using the HDMI 1 OUT port, please set SACD Output to PCM.

5.HDCD Decoding: Allows you to set the audio decoding option for HDCD (High Definition Compatible Digital) discs.

ξOn – HDCD is decoded by the player. You can enjoy expanded dynamic range and improved audio resolution.

ξOff – HDCD is treated as regular CD. This is useful when the player is connected to an HDCD- capable A/V receiver via a digital audio output link (Coaxial, Optical, or HDMI) so the A/V receiver can perform HDCD decoding.
