Digital output
Enables you to specify the type of digital output that best
suits your AV receiver or HDMI monitor/receiver.
Select [PCM only] if your receiver or HDMI monitor/
receiver is not capable of decoding multi-channel audio.
Select [All] if you connected this unit’s digital out jacks
to a multi-channel decoder/receiver.
Choices: Off, PCM only, All
Initial setting: All
Note:
– SA-CD audio signal is not output from DIGITAL
OUT jacks.
Analogue output
Enables you to specify the type of analog output suitable
for your AV receiver.
Choices: Stereo, Dolby Surr Compat, 3D sound,
Multi-channel
Initial setting: Multi-channel
Stereo: In this setting, the multi-channel audio is down-
mixed to a stereo signal. Select this setting when
connecting to a TV, stereo amplifier/receiver, etc.
Dolby Surr Compat: Select this setting when using
equipment with a Dolby Surround Pro Logic decoder. In
this setting, the multi-channel audio (Dolby Digital,
MPEG-2, DTS) is downmixed to a Dolby Surround
compatible 2-ch output. SA-CD and PCM signals with
a sampling frequency of over 88.2 kHz are downmixed
to normal stereo.
3D sound: In a setup without rear speakers (analogue
stereo output), 3D Sound remixes the six channels of
digital surround (except for SA-CD and PCM signals
with a sampling frequency of over 88.2 kHz) into a two
speaker output while retaining all of the original audio
information. The result is the sensation of being
surrounded by multiple speakers.
Multi-channel: Select this setting when using a multi-
channel AV receiver with 6-ch discrete inputs. The
multi-channel audio signals those of like DVD-Audio,
DVD-Video, and SA-CD are output from the respective
6-ch discrete output jacks. In this mode, this unit will
perform DTS decoding, Dolby Digital 5.1-channel
decoding, or MPEG Multichannel decoding when
applicable, and Dolby Pro LogicII decoding on 2-ch
sound tracks except for SA-CD and PCM signals with a
sampling frequency of over 88.2 kHz.
PCM output
Enables you to select PCM digital output at 48kHz or
96kHz. If you select [48 KHz], PCM data will be
converted to 2-ch 48kHz or less. Select [48 KHz] if the
connected equipment cannot process signals with a
sampling frequency of 96kHz or 88.2 kHz.
Choices: 96KHz, 48 KHz
Initial setting: 96KHz
Notes:
– Signals are converted to either 48kHz or 44.1 kHz
despite the above settings if the disc has copy
protection.
– If you select [96KHz], signals with a sampling
frequency of over 96kHz are converted to 2-ch
88.2kHz or 96 kHz.
SA-CD Direct
Enables you (with a suitable speaker system) to bypass
the bass management system for multi-channel SA-CD
playback, so you can enjoy the pure SA-CD quality.
Choices: On, Off
Initial setting: Off
Note:
– When [SA-CD Direct] is [On], the speaker settings
will not be applied during SA-CD playback.
HDMI Audio
If you are not using HDMI audio output, you should set
this to [Off].
If the monitor/receiver connected to this unit using
HDMI does not support HDMI audio signal input, set
this to [Off].
Choices: On, Off
Initial setting: Off
Notes:
– Super Audio CD signals cannot be output using
HDMI.
– This unit can output the following audio signals using
HDMI: 32/44.1/48 kHz, 2-ch PCM signals and
bitstream signals (Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG).
PCM signals with a sampling frequency of over
88.2kHz are converted to 2-ch 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz.
– When audio signals are being output by a HDMI-
component, digital output signals are muted.
