Audio Setup
• Audio DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
Makes the sound clear when the volume is turned down when playing a DVD that
conforms to “Audio DRC”. This affects the output from the following jacks:
– OUT AUDIO L/R jacks
– DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack only when “Dolby
Digital” is set to “D-PCM”.
The default setting is indicated in bold print.
• 48kHz/96kHz PCM
Selects the sampling frequency of the audio signal.
The default setting is indicated in bold print.
Notes
• If you select the surround setting while playing a DVD, the player does not output the
following signals from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack.
– Dolby Digital signals (when you set “Dolby Digial” to “D-PCM” in “OPTIONS AUDIO”
menu)
– MPEG audio signals
• If you connect a component that does not conform to the selected audio signal, a loud noise
(or no sound) will come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to
be damaged.
• Even if you set “48kHz/96kHz PCM” to “96kHz/24bit”, the sampling frequency is converted
to 48 kHz/16 bit when a “SURROUND” mode (page 83) is selected.
• The analog audio signals from AUDIO OUT L/R jacks are not affected by “48kHz/96kHz
PCM” setting and keep their original sampling frequency level.
Standard
Normally select this position.
TV
Makes the low sounds clear even if you turn the volume down.
48kHz/16bit
The audio signals of DVD VIDEOs are always converted to
48 kHz/16 bit.
96kHz/24bit
All types of signals including 96 kHz/24 bit are output in their
original format. However, if the signal is encrypted for copyright
protection purposes, the signal is only output as 48 kHz/16 bit.
