• Audio DRC (Dynamic Range Control)

Makes the sound clear when the volume is turned down when playing a DVD that conforms to “Audio DRC”. This affects the output from the following jacks:

OUT AUDIO L/R jacks

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack only when “Dolby

Digital” is set to “D-PCM”.

The default setting is indicated in bold print.

Standard

Normally select this position.

 

 

TV

Makes the low sounds clear even if you turn the volume down.

 

 

• 48kHz/96kHz PCM

Selects the sampling frequency of the audio signal. The default setting is indicated in bold print.

48kHz/16bit

The audio signals of DVD VIDEOs are always converted to

 

48 kHz/16 bit.

 

 

96kHz/24bit

All types of signals including 96 kHz/24 bit are output in their

 

original format. However, if the signal is encrypted for copyright

 

protection purposes, the signal is only output as 48 kHz/16 bit.

 

 

Notes

If you select the surround setting while playing a DVD, the player does not output the following signals from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack.

Dolby Digital signals (when you set “Dolby Digial” to “D-PCM” in “OPTIONS AUDIO” menu)

MPEG audio signals

If you connect a component that does not conform to the selected audio signal, a loud noise (or no sound) will come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

Even if you set “48kHz/96kHz PCM” to “96kHz/24bit”, the sampling frequency is converted to 48 kHz/16 bit when a “SURROUND” mode (page 83) is selected.

The analog audio signals from AUDIO OUT L/R jacks are not affected by “48kHz/96kHz PCM” setting and keep their original sampling frequency level.
