Audio Output Settings (Audio Out)

The “Audio Out” setup allows you to switch the method of outputting audio signals when you connect a component such as an amplifier (receiver) with a digital input jack. If you connect a component that does not accept the selected audio signal, a loud noise (or no sound) will come from the speakers, and may affect your ears or cause speaker damage.

bNotes

•“96 kHz PCM Output” setting has no effect when audio signals are output from the LINE 2 OUT (R-AUDIO-L) jacks or LINE 3 – TV/LINE 1/ DECODER jack. If the sampling frequency is

96 kHz, signals are simply converted to analogue signals and output.

•If the HDMI OUT jack is connected to equipment not compatible with 96 kHz signals, 48 kHz PCM will be automatically output even when you select “96 kHz.”
