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 62) is selected.

•The analog audio signals from the AUDIO OUT L/ R 1/2 jacks and 5.1 CH OUTPUT 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 5.1 CH OUTPUT jacks (page 25).

Select “SPEAKER SETUP” in the Setup Display. For details on using the display, see “Using the Setup Display” (page 83).

The default settings are underlined.
