xMPEG (DVD VIDEO/DVD-RW only)

Selects the MPEG audio signals to be output via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack.

PCM

Select this when the player is

 

connected to an audio

 

component lacking a built-in

 

MPEG decoder. If you play

 

MPEG audio sound tracks, the

 

player outputs stereo signals via

 

the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL

 

or COAXIAL) jack.

 

 

MPEG

Select this 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 (DVD VIDEO only)

Selects the DTS signals to be output via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack.

D-PCM Select this when the player is connected to an audio component lacking 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 having a built-in

 

DTS decoder. If the player is

 

connected to an audio

 

component lacking a built-in

 

DTS decoder, do not set this.

 

Otherwise, when you play the

 

DTS sound track, a loud noise

 

(or no sound) will come out from

 

the speakers, affecting your ears

 

or causing the speakers to be

 

damaged.

 

 

x48kHz/96kHz PCM (DVD VIDEO only)

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

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.

If a receiver (amplifier) which cannot accept 96kHz 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 58) is selected.

•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.
