48kHz/96kHz PCM

Selects the maximum sampling frequency for the PCM signals output from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL/COAXIAL) jack.

48kHz/16bit Outputs audio signals of 96 kHz sampling as 48 kHz/ 16 bit.

96kHz/24bit Outputs audio signals of 96 kHz sampling as 96 kHz/ 24 bit. However, the signals will be output as 48 kHz/

16 bit if the source is copy- protected.

b

•If you select “96kHz/24bit” when an AV amplifier (receiver) that does not support 96 kHz is connected, no sound or a loud sound may result.

•“48kHz/96kHz PCM” is not effective when “Audio Output Priority” is set to “HDMI,” “Multi Channel Analogue,” or “Stereo Analogue.”

Audio DRC

Selects the dynamic range (compression level of the sound) setting when playing a BD or DVD that conforms to “Audio DRC.”

Auto

Performs playback at the

 

dynamic range specified by

 

the disc (BD-ROM only).

 

Other discs are played back

 

at the “Standard” level.

 

 

Standard

Performs playback at a

 

compression level between

 

“TV Mode” and “Wide

 

Range.”

 

 

TV Mode

Sounds are compressed

 

heavily. Low sounds are

 

easier to hear.

 

 

Wide Range

No compression works. A

 

more dynamic sound is

 

produced.

 

 

b

•“Audio DRC” is effective only when playing Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD audio signals.

•When “Dolby Digital” is set to “Dolby Digital” in the “Audio Settings” setup (page 48), “Audio DRC” has no effect on the audio output from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL/COAXIAL) jack. However, this excludes the following cases.

–when “BD Audio Setting” is set to “Mix” when playing a BD.

–when “Audio Output Priority” is set to “HDMI,” “Multi Channel Analogue,” or “Stereo Analogue.”

Downmix

Sets the downmix method of multi-channel to two-channel sound.

Dolby

Outputs the Dolby Surround

Surround

(Pro Logic) signals in 2

 

channels. Select this when

 

connecting an audio device

 

that supports Dolby

 

Surround (Pro Logic).

 

 

Normal

Outputs audio signals

 

without Dolby Surround

 

(Pro Logic) effect. Select

 

this when connecting an

 

audio device that does not

 

support Dolby Surround

 

(Pro Logic).

 

 

b

“Downmix” has no effect on the bitstream audio output from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL/ COAXIAL)/HDMI OUT jack.
