Dolby Digital Selects the audio signals output when playing Dolby Digital discs. This setting affects the output from the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL/OPTICAL) jack. Downmix PCM Dolby Digital Converts to output Linear PCM signals. Select this when connecting an audio device without a built-in Dolby Digital decoder. Select this when connecting an audio device with a builtin Dolby Digital decoder. DTS Selects the audio signals output when playing DTS discs. This setting affects the output from the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL/ OPTICAL) jack. Downmix PCM DTS Converts to output Linear PCM signals. Select this when connecting to an audio device without a built-in DTS decoder. Select this when connecting to an audio device with a built-in DTS decoder. 48kHz/96kHz PCM Selects the maximum sampling frequency for the PCM signals output from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL/COAXIAL) jack. 48kHz/16bit 96kHz/24bit Outputs audio signals of 96 kHz sampling as 48 kHz/ 16 bit. Outputs audio signals of 96 kHz sampling as 96 kHz/ 24 bit. However, the signals will be output as 48 kHz/ 16 bit if the source is copyprotected. b If you select "96kHz/24bit" when an AV amplifier (receiver) that does not support 96 kHz is connected, no sound or a loud sound may result. Audio DRC Selects the dynamic range (compression level of the sound) setting when playing a BD or DVD that conforms to "Audio DRC." Auto Standard TV Mode Wide Range Performs playback at the dynamic range specified by the disc (BD-ROM only). Other discs are played back at the "Standard" level. Performs playback at a compression level between "TV Mode" and "Wide Range." Sounds are compressed heavily. Low sounds are easier to hear. No compression works. A more dynamic sound is produced. b • "Audio DRC" is effective only when playing Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby TrueHD audio signals. • When "Dolby Digital" is set to "Dolby Digital" in the "Audio Settings" setup (page 47), "Audio DRC" has no effect on the audio output from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL/COAXIAL) jack (except when "BD Audio Setting" is set to "Mix" when playing a BD). Downmix Sets the downmix method of multi-channel to two-channel sound. Dolby Surround Normal Outputs the Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) signals in 2 channels. Select this when connecting an audio device that supports Dolby Surround (Pro Logic). Outputs audio signals without Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) effect.
