•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.
