Adjustments and Settings

Settings for Sound (AUDIO SETUP)

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) connectors, sampling frequency stays at 96 kHz and the output signals are converted to analog signals.

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

Setting for the Signal to the Digital

Output

When you select “ON,” set “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG” and “DTS.”

Switches the methods of outputting audio signals when you connect a digital component such as a receiver (amplifier) having a digital connector, an audio component having a built-in DTS decoder, a DAT or MD via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector using an optical or coaxial digital connecting cord. For details on the connection, see page 12.

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 “DOWN MIX” 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.

pMPEG

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

•PCM: when the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in MPEG decoder. If you play MPEG AUDIO sound tracks, the player outputs stereo signals taken from MPEG AUDIO signals via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.

•MPEG: when the player is connected to an audio component having a built-in MPEG decoder.

Note

If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in MPEG decoder, do not set “MPEG” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “MPEG.” Otherwise, when you play the MPEG AUDIO sound track, a loud noise will come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

Note

The player outputs the MPEG analog audio sound only from the front speakers when you set “DIGITAL OUT” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “ON” and then set “MPEG” to “MPEG.”

pDTS

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

•OFF: when the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in DTS decoder.

•ON: when the player is connected to an audio component having a built-in DTS decoder.

Note

Select the setting correctly. Otherwise, no sound or strange sound will come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

•Do not play the DTS sound tracks without connecting the player to an audio component having a built-in DTS decoder. You cannot hear the DTS sound unless you connect the player to an audio component having a built-in DTS decoder.

•When you play the DTS sound track on a CD, a loud noise may come out from the LINE OUT (AUDIO), 5.1CH OUTPUT and PHONES connectors, affecting your ears or causing the speakers or headphones to be damaged.

•When you play the DTS sound track on a DVD, no sounds will come out from the LINE OUT (AUDIO), 5.1CH OUTPUT and PHONES connectors.
