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

◆48kHz/96kHz PCM (DVD VIDEO only)

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.

Note

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