Settings for the Sound (AUDIO SETUP)

xDTS

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

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

•DTS: 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.

Settings for the Speakers

(SPEAKER SETUP)

To obtain the best possible surround sound when you use the 5.1 CH OUTPUT connectors, use the SPEAKER SETUP display to first specify the size of the speakers you have connected and their distance from your listening position. Then set the balance and level. Use the test tone to adjust the volume of the speakers to the same level. For speaker hookup instructions, see page 13.

The default settings are underlined.

Select “SPEAKER SETUP” in the setup display.
