For your reference

Change the settings in the “Sound” menus (page 52) to suit the digital equipment you have connected. If the equipment can decode Dolby Digital, set “Dolby Digital” to “Bitstream” (factory setting). If the equipment can decode DTS, set “DTS” to “Bitstream”.

The DTS decoder must be compatible with the signals recorded on DVD.

During Quick View (Play k1.3), the Digital Audio Output will change to PCM Output.

You can record the digital signal directly onto digital recording equipment.

The signals on DVDs will be converted to 48 kHz/16 bit linear PCM.

When recording DVDs, ensure the following conditions are met. There is no copy guard recorded on the disc.

The recording equipment can handle a sampling frequency of 48 kHz/16 bit.

You cannot record MP3.

If you want to use the synchro recording feature on your digital recording equipment and you use connection [A] or [B] to record from CDs or video CDs, first pause at the point you want to record from, activate the synchro feature, then restart play on the unit.
