x48kHz/96kHz PCM (DVD only)

Selects the sampling frequency of the audio signal to be output via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jacks.

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

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 48 kHz/16 bit.

If a receiver (amplifier) which cannot accept 96Hz is connected to the player, do not set this. Otherwise, a loud noise may come out from the speakers.

Notes

Even if you set “48kHz/96kHz PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “96kHz/24bit,” the sampling frequency is converted to 48kHz/16bit when a SURROUND mode (page 50) is selected.

The analog audio signals from the LINE OUT L/R (AUDIO) 1/2 jacks are not affected by this setting and keep their original sampling frequency level.

Settings for the Speakers

(SPEAKER SETUP)

To obtain the best possible surround sound, set the size of the speakers you have connected and their distance from your listening position. Then use the test tone to adjust the volume and the balance of the speakers to the same level.

This setting is effective when connecting the speaker with 5.1CH OUTPUT jacks (page 21).

Select “SPEAKER SETUP” in the Setup Display. For details, see “Using the Setup Display” (page 65).

The default settings are underlined.
