22.05kHz (Sampling frequency (Fs) of the audio source is 44.1 kHz), 24 kHz (Fs is

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.”
