•ON: Normally select this position. When you select “ON,” set “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG” and “DTS.” For details on setting them, see “Setting for the Signal to the Digital Output.”

•OFF: when the player does not output the sound signals via DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors, if you select this position, the influence of the digital circuit upon the analog one is minimum.

Notes

•When you play the sound tracks with 96 kHz sampling frequency, the output signals from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL, COAXIAL) are converted to 48 kHz (sampling frequency). When the signals are output from LINE OUT (AUDIO 1, 2 ) connectors, sampling frequency stays at 96kHz and the output signals are converted to analog signals.

•When you select “OFF,” You cannot set “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG” and “DTS.”

pDOLBY DIGITAL

Selects output Dolby Digital signals via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors. You cannot select this item when you set “DIGITAL OUT” to “OFF.”

•D-PCM (Downmix PCM): when you play the Dolby Digital sound tracks, the output audio signals are mixed down to 2 channels. With the settings of the item “DOWNMIX” in “AUDIO SETUP,” you can select whether the signals conform to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) or not.

•DOLBY DIGITAL: when the player is connected to an audio component with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder.

Note

If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, do not set “DOLBY DIGITAL” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “DOLBY DIGITAL.” Otherwise, when you play the Dolby Digital sound track, a loud noise or no sound will come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.
