DVP-NS36/NS37/NS45P/NS55P/NS61P/NS63P Setting the digital output signal Switches the method of outputting audio signals when you connect a component such as an amplifier (receiver) or MD deck with a digital input jack. For connection details, see page 18. Select "DOLBY DIGITAL," "MPEG," "DTS," and "48kHz/96kHz PCM" after setting "DIGITAL OUT" to "ON." If you connect a component that is incompatible with the selected audio signal, a loud noise (or no sound) may be heard from the speakers, risking damage to your ears or speakers. ◆ DOLBY DIGITAL (DVD VIDEO/DVD-VR mode only) Selects the type of Dolby Digital signal. D-PCM DOLBY DIGITAL Select this when the player is connected to an audio component without a built-in Dolby Digital decoder. You can select whether the signals conform to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) or not by making adjustments to the "DOWNMIX" item in "AUDIO SETUP" (page 66). Select this when the player is connected to an audio component with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder. ◆ DTS Selects whether or not to output DTS signals. OFF Select this when the player is connected to an audio component without a built-in DTS decoder. ON Select this when the player is connected to an audio component with a built-in DTS decoder. ◆ 48kHz/96kHz PCM (DVD VIDEO only) Selects the sampling frequency of the audio signal. 48kHz/16bit The audio signals of DVD VIDEOs are always converted to 48kHz/16bit. 96kHz/24bit All types of signals including 96kHz/24bit are output in their original format. However, if the signal is encrypted for copyright protection purposes, the signal is only output as 48kHz/16bit. Note The analogue audio signals from the LINE OUT L/ R (AUDIO) jacks are not affected by this setting and keep their original sampling frequency level. ◆ MPEG (DVD VIDEO/DVD-VR mode only) Selects the type of MPEG audio signal. PCM Select this when the player is connected to an audio component without a built-in MPEG decoder. If you play multi-channel MPEG audio sound tracks, only the Front (L) and Front (R) signals will be output from your two front speakers. MPEG Select this when the player is connected to an audio component with a built-in MPEG decoder.
