Audio Connection

The following setup items switch the method of outputting audio signals when you connect a component such as an amplifier (receiver) with a digital input jack.

For connection details, see “Step 4: Connecting the Audio Cords” on page 16.

Select “Dolby Digital,” “MPEG,” “DTS,” and “48kHz/96kHz PCM” after setting “Digital Out” to “On.”

If you connect a component that does not accept the selected audio signal, a loud noise (or no sound) will come out from the speakers, and may affect your ears or cause speaker damage.

1Select “Audio Connection” in “Audio,” and press ENTER.

4Set the digital output signal.

• Dolby Digital (DVDs only)

Selects the type of Dolby Digital signal.

D-PCM

Select this when the recorder is

 

connected to an audio component

 

lacking a built-in Dolby Digital

 

decoder. The surround effects of

 

output signals are determined by

 

the “Downmix” setting item in

 

“Audio” setup.

 

 

Dolby

Select this when the recorder is

Digital

connected to an audio component

 

with a built-in Dolby Digital

 

decoder.

 

 

• MPEG (DVD VIDEO only)

Selects the type of MPEG audio signal.

PCM

Select this when the recorder is

 

connected to an audio component

 

without a built-in MPEG decoder.

 

If you play MPEG audio sound

 

tracks, the recorder outputs stereo

 

signals via the DIGITAL OUT

 

(OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack.

 

 

MPEG

Select this when the recorder is

 

connected to an audio component

 

with a built-in MPEG decoder.

 

 

• DTS (DVD VIDEO only)

Selects whether or not to output DTS signals.

On

Select this when the recorder is

 

connected to an audio component

 

with a built-in DTS decoder.

 

 

Off

Select this when the recorder is

 

connected to an audio component

 

without a built-in DTS decoder.

 

 

•48kHz/96kHz PCM (DVD VIDEO only) Selects the sampling frequency of the audio signal.

48kHz/ The DVD video audio signal is

16bit converted to 48kHz/16bit and output.

96kHz/ All signals containing 96kHz/

24bit 24bit are output without conversion. However, the signals are output at 48kHz/16bit if copyright-protected signals are contained.

bNotes

•“48kHz/96kHz PCM” setting has no effect when audio signals are output from the LINE OUT (R-AUDIO-L) jacks. If the sampling frequency is 96kHz, signals are simply converted to 96kHz analog signals and output.

•When you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack to listen to MPEG audio signals and set “MPEG” to “MPEG” in “Audio” setup, no sound will come from your speakers if you select one of the TVS modes.
