Settings and Adjustments 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." AUDIO SETUP AUDIO ATT: OFF AUDIO DRC: STANDARD CENTER SPEAKER EQ: FLAT DOWNMIX: DOLBY SURROUND DIGITAL OUT: ON DOLBY DIGITAL: D-PCM DTS: D-PCM 48kHz/96kHz PCM: 48kHz/16bit To set, press , then ENTER . To quit, press DISPLAY . 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. 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. 74
