Adjustments and Settings

Settings for Sound (AUDIO SETUP)

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.”

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.
