Audio Menu

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 Logic II 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 48 kHz or 96 kHz. If you select [48 KHz], PCM data will be converted to 2-ch 48 kHz or less. Select [48 KHz] if the connected equipment cannot process signals with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz or 88.2 kHz.

Choices: 96 KHz, 48 KHz

Initial setting: 96 KHz

Notes:

–Signals are converted to either 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz despite the above settings if the disc has copy protection.

–If you select [96 KHz], signals with a sampling frequency of over 96 kHz are converted to 2-ch 88.2 kHz 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 88.2 kHz 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.
