◆AUDIO FILTER

Selects the digital filter to reduce noise above

22.05kHz (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.

SLOW Provides smooth and warm sound.

Note

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

◆DOWNMIX (DVD VIDEO/DVD-RW only)

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 “Checking the audio signal format” (page 54). This function affects the output of the following jacks:

– LINE OUT L/R (AUDIO) 1/2 jacks

– DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL)/ HDMI OUT jack when “DOLBY DIGITAL” and “DTS” is set to “D-PCM” (page 84).

DOLBY Normally, select this position.

SUR- Multi-channel audio signals are

ROUND output to 2 channels for enjoying surround sounds.

NORMAL Multi-channel audio signals are downmixed to 2 channels for use with your stereo.

◆DIGITAL OUT

Selects if audio signals are output via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL)/ HDMI OUT 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. If you are using the HDMI OUT jack, PCM sound will be output depending on the connected equipment.

If the signal is encrypted for copyright protection purposes, the signal is only output as 48 kHz/16 bit PCM.

Note

Super Audio CD audio signals are not output from a DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL)/ HDMI OUT 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 23. Select “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “DTS,” and “48kHz/96kHz PCM” after setting “DIGITAL OUT” to “ON.”
