Settings and Adjustments
x
DTS
Selects the DTS signals to be output via the DIGITAL OUT
OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
• D-PCM: when the player is connected to an audio
component lacking a built-in DTS decoder. If you play
DTS sound tracks, the player outputs stereo signals via
the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL
connectors.
• DTS: when the player is connected to an audio
component having a built-in DTS decoder.
If the player is connected to an audio component
lacking a built-in DTS decoder, do not set this.
Otherwise, when you play the DTS sound track, a loud
noise (or no sound) will come out from the speakers,
affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be
damaged.
x
48kHz/96kHz PCM (DVD only)
Selects the sampling frequency of the audio signal to be
output via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL
connectors.
• 48kHz/16bit: The audio signals of DVDs 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.
Notes
• If you select “96kHz/24bit” when a receiver (amplifier) which
cannot accept 96 kHz is connected to the player, no sound or a
loud noise will come out from the speakers.
• Even if you set “48kHz/96kHz PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP” to
“96kHz/24bit,” the sampling frequency is converted to 48
kHz/16 bit when a VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode is
selected.
• The analog audio signals from the AUDIO OUT connectors are
not affected by this setting and keep their original sampling
frequency level.
Settings for the Sound (AUDIO SETUP)
Setting the Digital Output Signal
Switches the methods of outputting audio signals when
you, connect 1. a digital component such as a receiver
(amplifier) having a digital connector, 2. an audio
component having a built-in decoder (Dolby Digital or
DTS), 3. a DAT or MD via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or
COAXIAL connector using an optical or coaxial digital
connecting cord. For connection details, see page 11.
You cannot adjust “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “DTS” and
“48kHz/96kHz PCM” if you set “DIGITAL OUT” to
“OFF.”
x
DOLBY DIGITAL
Selects the Dolby Digital signals to be output via the
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
• D-PCM (Downmix PCM): when the player is connected
to an audio component lacking a built-in Dolby Digital
decoder. If 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.
