to mute its digital output entirely, or
•
to downsample (to a maximum of 16 bits/48 kHz).
Conveying the full 24/96 digital material out of a transport when
the CSS flag has been invoked is a violation of copyright, and
illegal. It may be that you are trying to listen to a disc which
invokes CSS.
Depending on your transport, the result will probably either be
a 48k lock (indicating downsampling in your transport due to
CSS), or no output at all (either “No DAS” or digital silence,
again due to CSS and how it is implemented in your transport).

I HAVE NEVER SEEN 96KHZ ON ANY DVD I PLAY, INCLUDING SOME
THAT I KNOW HAVE IT, AND PLAY ON OTHER SYSTEMS. WHY?
Many transports downsample everything to 48kHz (although this is not re-
quired by CSS). If your DVD transport does this, there is nothing the Nº30.6
can do to reverse the limitation being placed on the signal by the transport.
Rest assured that the 48kHz signal is being reproduced with the greatest
possible fidelity, and consider changing transports to one that can output
96 kHz when it is legal to do so.
