◆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.

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 or DTS format. For details on the rear signal components, see “Displaying the audio information of the disc” (page 57).

This function affects the output from the following jacks:

– AUDIO OUT L/R 1/2 jacks

– DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack when “DOLBY DIGITAL” and “DTS” are set to “D-PCM” (page 79).

DOLBY Select this when the player is SURROUND connected to an audio

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 “To set 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.

To set the digital output signal

The following 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,” “MPEG,” “DTS,” and “48kHz/96kHz PCM” after setting “DIGITAL OUT” to “ON.”
