Settings and Adjustments
p
DIGITAL OUT
Selects output signals via the OPTICAL and COAXIAL
connectors.
• ON: Normally select this position. When you select
“ON,” set “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG” and “DTS.”
For details on setting them, see “Setting for the signal to
the digital output.”
• OFF: when the player does not output the sound signals
via the OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors, if you
select this position, the influence of the digital circuit
upon the analog one is minimum.
Notes
• When you play the sound tracks with 96 kHz sampling
frequency, the output signals from the OPTICAL and
COAXIAL connectors are converted to 48 kHz (sampling
frequency). When the signals are output from LINE OUT
(AUDIO 1, 2) connectors, sampling frequency stays at 96 kHz
and the output signals are converted to analog signals.
• When you select “OFF,” you cannot set “DOLBY DIGITAL,”
“MPEG” and “DTS.”
Setting for the signal to the digital output
When you select “ON,” set “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG”
and “DTS.”
Switches the methods of outputting audio signals when
you connect a digital component such as a receiver
(amplifier) having a digital connector, an audio
component having a built-in DTS decoder, a DAT or MD
via the OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector using an optical
or coaxial digital connecting cord. For details on the
connection, see pages 13 and 15.
p
DOLBY DIGITAL
Selects output Dolby Digital signals via the OPTICAL and
COAXIAL connectors. You cannot select this item when
you set “DIGITAL OUT” to “OFF.”
• D-PCM (Downmix PCM): when you play the Dolby
Digital sound tracks, the output audio signals are mixed
down to 2 channels. With the settings of the item
“DOWN MIX” in “AUDIO SETUP,” you can select
whether the signals conform to Dolby Surround (Pro
Logic) or not.
• DOLBY DIGITAL: when the player is connected to an
audio component with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder.
Note
If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a
built-in Dolby Digital decoder, do not set “DOLBY DIGITAL”
in “AUDIO SETUP” to “DOLBY DIGITAL.” Otherwise, when
you play the Dolby Digital sound track, a loud noise or no
sound will come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or
causing the speakers to be damaged.
Note
When “DOLBY DIGITAL” is selected, you cannot select VES in
the Control Menu display.
p
MPEG
Selects output MPEG AUDIO signals via the OPTICAL
and COAXIAL connectors. You cannot select this item
when you set “DIGITAL OUT” to “OFF.”
• PCM: when the player is connected to an audio
component lacking a built-in MPEG decoder. If you
play MPEG AUDIO sound tracks, the player outputs
stereo signals taken from MPEG AUDIO signals via the
OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
• MPEG: when the player is connected to an audio
component having a built-in MPEG decoder.
Note
If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a
built-in MPEG decoder, do not set “MPEG” in “AUDIO
SETUP” to “MPEG.” Otherwise, when you play the MPEG
AUDIO sound track, a loud noise will come out from the
speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be
damaged.
Note
The player outputs the MPEG analog audio sound only from the
front speakers when you set “DIGITAL OUT” in “AUDIO
SETUP” to “ON” and then set “MPEG” to “MPEG.”
