original audio track. Use this option when you want to use
the Dolby Digital AC3 signals through the optical or coaxial
audio output.
Down Sampling
Use the down sampling option when you have selected
the “PCM” option in the type of digital audio output:

- OFF: Use this option to deactivate the lowering of the

Note
: A certain sampling rate is used to record disks
(measured in kHz); the higher this sampling rate, the bet-
ter the sound quality. If you turn it off, make sure that the
amplifier that you are using is compatible with 96kHz digi-
tal signals.
