Adjustments and Settings

Settings for the Sound (AUDIO SETUP)

xMPEG

Selects the MPEG audio signals to be output via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.

•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 via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.

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

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

xDTS

Selects the DTS signals to be output via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.

•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.

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

x48kHz/96kHz PCM (DVD only)

Selects the sampling frequency of the audio signal to be output via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.

•48kHz/16bit: The audio signals of DVDs are always converted to 48 kHz/16 bit.

•96kHz/24bit: All types of signals including 96 kHz/24 bit are output in their original format. However, if the signal is encrypted for copyright protection purposes, the signal is only output as 48 kHz/16 bit.

Notes

•If you select “96kHz/24bit” when a receiver (amplifier) which cannot accept 96 kHz is connected to the player, no sound or a loud noise will come out from the speakers.

•Even if you set “48kHz/96kHz PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “96kHz/24bit,” the sampling frequency is converted to 48 kHz/16 bit when a VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode is selected.

•The analog audio signals from the AUDIO OUT connectors are not affected by this setting and keep their original sampling frequency level.
