If the HDMI OUT jack is connected to equipment not compatible with DOLBY DIGITAL signals, the “D-PCM” signals will be automatically output even when you select “Dolby Digital.”

• MPEG (DVD VIDEOs 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 (COAXIAL or

 

OPTICAL) jack.

 

 

MPEG

Select this when the recorder

 

is connected to an audio

bNote

When HDMI output is performed to equipment not compatible with DTS signals, the signals will not be output regardless of the “DTS” setting.

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

48kHz/ The audio signals of DVD

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

96kHz/ All signals containing

24bit 96 kHz/24 bit are output without conversion. However, the signals are output at 48 kHz/16 bit if copyright-protected signals are contained.

bNotes

“48kHz/96kHz PCM” setting has no effect when audio signals are output from the LINE 2 OUT (R-AUDIO-L) jacks or LINE 1 – TV/LINE 3/ 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 “96kHz/24bit.”

Audio(HDMI)

Selects the type of audio signal output from the HDMI OUT jack.

Auto

Normally select this position.

 

Outputs the optimum audio

 

signal that can be received by

 

the TV based on the “Digital

 

Out” setting (page 143).

 

 

PCM

Converts Dolby Digital or

 

96 kHz PCM signals to

 

48 kHz/16 bit PCM.

 

 

bNotes

A loud noise (or no sound) will be output if you connect the recorder to a TV that is not compatible with DOLBY DIGITAL/DTS signals and “Auto” is selected. In this case, select “PCM.”

Set “Digital Out” to “On” when outputting compressed audio signals to an HDMI compatible TV.
