Digital audio output

Depending on the amplifier or television (with or without integrated decoder) connected to your

Virtual Surround (SRS

This function provides you with virtual reproduction of the multichannel sound of a Dolby or DTS
film onto the two channels of your TV or stereo amplifier. The sound effects of a 5.1 system are then
simulated.

Dolby Digital 

is a sound

compression technique elaborated by Dolby

sound 5.1.

PCM

If the device connected to the DIGITAL AUDIO

OUT sockets does not support Dolby or DTS
signals, your player will deliver PCM (Pulse
Code Modulation) signals. In that case, neither
Dolby Digital, nor DTS must be ticked. 
The linear PCM is a signal recording format
used for CDs. CDs are recorded in 
44.1kHz /16bits. DVDs are recorded in 48kHz /
16 bits, or even up to 96kHz / 24 bits.

DTS 

is a digital sound compression

technique developed by Digital Theater

Sound Systems for digital audio multichannel
signals.

The  Sound menu provides you with settings so you can adapt your player to the devices
connected. It also enables you to access specific functions.
