•D-PCM (Downmix PCM): when the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in Dolby Digital decoder. If you play Dolby Digital sound tracks, the output audio signals are mixed down to 2 channels. You can select whether the signals conform to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) or not by making adjustments to the “DOWNMIX” item in “AUDIO SETUP.”
•DOLBY DIGITAL: when the player is connected to an audio component with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder. If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, do not set this. 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.

•MPEG: when the player is connected to an audio component having a built-in MPEG decoder.
If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in MPEG decoder, do not set this. Otherwise, when you play the MPEG audio sound track, a loud noise or no sound will come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.
xDTS
Selects the DTS signals to be output via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors. You cannot select this item when you set “DIGITAL OUT” to “OFF.”
