Selects output Dolby Digital signals via the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors. You cannot select this item when you set “DIGITAL OUT” to “OFF.”

•D-PCM (Downmix PCM): when you play the Dolby Digital sound tracks, the output audio signals are mixed down to 2 channels. With the settings of the item “DOWNMIX” in “AUDIO SETUP,” you can select whether the signals conform to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) or not.

•DOLBY DIGITAL: when the player is connected to an audio component with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder.

Note

If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, do not set “DOLBY DIGITAL” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “DOLBY DIGITAL.” Otherwise, when you play the Dolby Digital sound track, a loud noise or no sound will come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.
