Setting the Digital Output Signal
Switches the methods of outputting audio signals when
you, 1. connect a digital component such as a receiver
(amplifier) having a digital connector, 2. an audio
component having a built-in decoder (Dolby Digital,
MPEG or DTS), 3. a DAT or MD via the DIGITAL OUT
OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector using an optical or
coaxial digital connecting cord. For details on the
connection, see pages 12 and 14.
When you select “ON,” set “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG”
and “DTS.”
x
DOLBY DIGITAL
Selects the Dolby Digital signals to be output via the
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors. You
cannot select this item when you set “DIGITAL OUT” to
“OFF.”
• D-PCM (Downmix PCM): when you play Dolby Digital
sound tracks, the output audio signals are mixed down
to 2 channels. You can select whether the signals
conform to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) or not by
making adjustments to the “DOWNMIX” item in
“AUDIO SETUP.”
• DOLBY DIGITAL: when the player is connected to an
audio component with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder.
If the player is connected to an audio component
lacking a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, do not set this.
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 you select “D-PCM,” set Virtual Enhanced Surround (VES)
to “OFF.” Otherwise, the player will not output signals from the
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector.

DOWNMIX
Switches the mixing down methods when you play a
DVD on which rear signal components such as LS, RS or S
in Dolby Digital format are recorded. For details on the
rear signal components, see “Displaying the audio
information of the disc” (page 33).
The “DOWNMIX” setting affects the following
connectors:
– AUDIO OUT connectors
– DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors
(when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “D-PCM” in
“AUDIO SETUP” in the setup display)
• DOLBY SURROUND: when the player is connected to
an audio component that conforms to Dolby Surround
(Pro Logic). The output signals which reproduce the
Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) effect are mixed down to 2
channels.
• NORMAL: when the player is connected to an audio
component that does not conform to Dolby Surround
(Pro Logic). The signals without Dolby Surround (Pro
Logic) effect are output.
x
DIGITAL OUT
Selects output signals via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL
and COAXIAL connectors.
• ON: Normally select this position. When you select
“ON,” set “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG” and “DTS.”
For details on setting these items, see “Setting the
Digital Output Signal.”
• OFF: when the player does not output the sound signals
via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL
connectors, the influence of the digital circuit upon the
analog circuit is at a minimum.
Notes
• When you play sound tracks with a 96 kHz sampling
frequency, the output signals from the DIGITAL OUT
(OPTICAL, COAXIAL) are converted to 48 kHz (sampling
frequency). When the signals are output from the AUDIO OUT
connectors, sampling frequency stays at 96kHz and the output
signals are converted to analog signals.
• When you select “OFF,” you cannot set “DOLBY DIGITAL,”
“MPEG” and “DTS.”
