◆AUDIO FILTER (except Super Audio CD)

Selects the digital filter to reduce noise above 22.05 kHz (Sampling frequency (Fs) of the audio source is 44.1 kHz), 24 kHz (Fs is 48 kHz), or 48 kHz (Fs is above 96 kHz).

SHARP Provides a wide frequency range and spatial feeling.

There may be little effect by changing the digital filter depending on discs or playback environment.

Switches the method for mixing down to 2 channels when you play a DVD which has rear sound elements (channels) or is recorded in Dolby Digital format. For details on the rear signal components, see “Displaying the audio information of the disc” (page 56). This function affects the output of the following jacks:

– LINE OUT L/R (AUDIO) 1/2 jacks

ROUND component that conforms to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic).

NORMAL Select this when the player is connected to an audio component that does not conform to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic).

◆DIGITAL OUT

Select this if audio signals are to be output via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack.

ON Normally select this position. When you select “ON,” see “Setting the digital output signal” for further settings.

OFF The influence of the digital circuit upon the analog circuit is minimal.

Note

Super Audio CD audio signals are not output from a digital jack.

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