Coaxial/Optical Output:
Allows you to set the audio format and the upper sample rate limit for
coaxial/optical (S/PDIF) digital outputs. The upper sample rate limit is used to decide whether the
player will down-sample audio (the player does not up-sample audio to higher sample rates).
x
48k LPCM
– Forces down-mixed 2-channel, linear PCM (LPCM) digital audio format, and sets
the maximum sample rate to 48kHz. This is supported by most receivers/amplifiers.
x
96k LPCM
– Forces down-mixed 2-channel, linear PCM (LPCM) digital audio format and sets
the maximum sample rate to 96kHz. It can result in better audio quality but ensure the
receiver/amplifier can support it.
x
192k LPCM
– Forces down-mixed 2-channel, linear PCM (LPCM) digital audio format and sets
the maximum sample rate to 192kHz. It can result in better audio quality but ensure the
receiver/amplifier can support it.
x
Bitstream
– Passes audio as compressed bitstream format to the receiver/amplifier. Choose
this setting if your receiver/amplifier is capable of decoding Dolby Digital and/or DTS.
NOTE
Due to copyright restrictions and bandwidth limitations, SACD audio cannot be sent through the
coaxial/optical audio output, and the high resolution audio on DVD-Audio and Blu-ray discs will
be sent out at reduced resolution. Details can be found on page 17.
4.
SACD Output
: Allows you to select the audio output format for SACD playback.
x
PCM
– SACD data is converted into multi-channel, high-resolution PCM data. The converted
PCM data is then output through HDMI or the internal DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter) for
the analogue audio output ports. If you use a receiver that supports HDMI v1.1 to listen to
SACD, please select this option. You may also want to select this option if you prefer the sound
quality of the DSD-to-PCM conversion.
x
DSD
– SACD Direct Stream Digital (DSD) data is output over HDMI without any conversion.
For the analogue audio outputs, DSD data is converted into an analogue signal directly by the
internal DAC. If you use a receiver that supports HDMI v1.2a with DSD over HDMI, or you
prefer the sound quality of straight DSD to analogue, please select this option.
NOTE
Due to the hardware limitation, DSD output is only available from the HDMI 2 OUT port. To listen
to SACD using the HDMI 1 OUT port, please set
SACD Output
to
PCM
.
5.
HDCD Decoding
: Allows you to set the audio decoding option for HDCD (High Definition
Compatible Digital) discs.
x
On
– HDCD is decoded by the player. You can enjoy expanded dynamic range and improved
audio resolution.
x
Off
– HDCD is treated as regular CD. This is useful when the player is connected to an HDCD-
capable A/V receiver via a digital audio output link (Coaxial, Optical, or HDMI) so the A/V
receiver can perform HDCD decoding.
NOTE
If your receiver is capable of HDCD decoding, it is recommended that you set the
HDCD
Decoding
setting to
Off
on the BDP-103D in order to avoid decoding HDCD twice. This will
prevent the occasional pop or crackle sounds that occur when HDCD is decoded twice.
