Super Audio CD audio signals are not output from a DIGITAL OUT jack.

Setting the digital output signal

Switches the method of outputting audio signals when you connect a component such as an amplifier (receiver) or MD deck with a digital input jack.

For connection details, see page 21. Select “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG,” “DTS,” and “48kHz/96kHz PCM” after setting “DIGITAL OUT” to “ON.”

If you connect a component that is incompatible with the selected audio signal, a loud noise (or no sound) may be heard from the speakers, risking damage to your ears or speakers.

Note

The AV alignment function (page 61) is not effective if you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack and set “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “DTS,” or “MPEG” in AUDIO SETUP to “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “DTS,” or “MPEG” respectively.

48kHz/16bit The audio signals of DVD VIDEOs are always converted to 48 kHz/16 bit.

96kHz/24bit All types of signals including

96kHz/24 bit are output in their original format. However, if the signal is encrypted for copyright protection purposes, the signal is only output as

48kHz/16 bit.

Note

The analogue audio signals from the LINE OUT L/ R (AUDIO) jacks and 5.1CH OUTPUT jacks are not affected by this setting and keep their original sampling frequency level.
