The digital output of the DVD 1240 R (HD) can be used
for connecting external surround decoders or digital
recording equipment. Set the data format of the digital
output to suit the requirements of the devices to be
connected to the unit.

Select this setting if the connected device is not capable
of decoding multi-channel audio. It should be used, for
example, with digital stereo audio recorders (DAT, CD
recorder, MD recorder).

Select this setting of you have connected an external
surround decoder to the ‘Digital Audio Out’ output, which
is capable of processing Dolby and dts digital audio
signals.
L PCM output
At this point you can activate the 96 kHz setting for the
digital output.
If you activate the 96 kHz output, audio signals from
DVDs featuring a 96 kHz sound track are reproduced in
their native 96 kHz format. Please note that the decoder
or recorder connected to the
DVD 1240 R (HD) must also
be designed for 96 kHz operation, and must also be set
to that value (see the operating instructions supplied with
the decoder / recorder).

Caution:
If your decoder does not support the 96 kHz
data rate, it is essential to set the 48 kHz
setting in this menu point, as your decoder is
not capable of reproducing the audio data
correctly. If you use the system with the
wrong
settings, under unfavourable
circumstances your loudspeakers could be
damaged.
