To set the digital output signal

The following switch 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 20.

Select “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “DTS,” and “48 kHz/96 kHz PCM” after setting “DIGITAL OUT” to “ON.”

AUDIO SETUP

AUDIO ATT:

 

OFF

AUDIO DRC:

 

STANDARD

AUDIO FILTER:

 

SHARP

DOWNMIX:

DOLBY SURROUND

DIGITAL OUT:

 

ON

DOLBY DIGITAL:

 

D-PCM

DTS:

 

D-PCM

48kHz/96kHz PCM:

48kHz/16bit

If you connect a component that does not conform to the selected audio signal, a loud noise (or no sound) will come out from the speakers, damaging your ears or speakers.

•DOLBY DIGITAL (DVD only) Selects the type of Dolby Digital signal.

D-PCM

Select this when the player is

 

connected to an audio

 

component without a built-in

 

Dolby Digital decoder. You can

 

select whether the signals

 

conform to Dolby Surround

 

(Pro Logic) or not by making

 

adjustments to the

 

“DOWNMIX” item in

 

“AUDIO SETUP” (page 75).

 

 

DOLBY

Select this when the player is

DIGITAL

connected to an audio

 

component with a built-in

 

Dolby Digital decoder.

 

 

•DTS (DVD VIDEO only) Selects the type of DTS signal.

D-PCM

Select this when the player is

 

connected to an audio

 

component without a built-in

 

DTS decoder. If you play DTS

 

audio sound tracks, the player

 

outputs stereo signals via the

 

DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or

 

COAXIAL) jacks.

 

 

DTS

Select this when the player is

 

connected to an audio

 

component with a built-in DTS

 

decoder.

 

 

•48kHz/96kHz PCM (DVD VIDEO only) Selects the sampling frequency of the audio signal.

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

96kHz/24bit All types of signals including 96kHz/24bit are output in their original format. However, if the signal is encrypted for copyright protection purposes, the signal is only output as 48kHz/16bit.

Notes

•Even if you set “48kHz/96kHz PCM” to “96kHz/ 24bit,” the sampling frequency is converted to 48kHz/16bit when a “SURROUND” mode (page 55) is selected.

•The analog 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.
