◆ AUDIO FILTER Selects the digital filter to reduce noise above 22.05 kHz (Sampling frequency (Fs) of the audio source is 44.1 kHz), 24 kHz (Fs is 48 kHz), or 48 kHz (Fs is above 96 kHz). SHARP Provides a wide frequency range and spatial feeling. SLOW Provides smooth and warm sound. Note There may be little effect by changing the digital filter depending on the disc or playback environment. ◆ DOWNMIX (DVD VIDEO/DVD-VR mode only) Switches the method for mixing down to 2 channels when you play a DVD which has rear sound elements (channels) or is recorded in Dolby Digital format. For details on the rear signal components, see "Checking the audio signal format" (page 42). This function affects the output of the following jacks: - LINE OUT L/R (AUDIO) jacks - DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL)/ HDMI OUT jack when "DOLBY DIGITAL" is set to "D-PCM" (page 67). DOLBY SURROUND NORMAL Normally, select this position. Multi-channel audio signals are output to 2 channels for enjoying surround sounds. Multi-channel audio signals are downmixed to 2 channels for use with your stereo. ◆ DIGITAL OUT Selects if audio signals are output via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL)/ HDMI OUT jack. ON Normally select this position. When you select "ON," see "Setting the digital output signal" for further settings. OFF The influence of the digital circuit upon the analog circuit is minimal. If you are using the HDMI OUT jack, PCM sound will be output depending on the connected equipment. If the signal is encrypted for copyright protection purposes, the signal is only output as 48 kHz/16 bit PCM. 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 21. Select "DOLBY DIGITAL," "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. Notes • The AV SYNC function (page 49) is not effective if you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack, and set "DOLBY DIGITAL" or "DTS" to "DOLBY DIGITAL" or "ON" respectively. • The AV SYNC function (page 49) is not effective if you connect a Dolby Digital or DTS-compliant device via the HDMI OUT jack, and set "DOLBY DIGITAL" or "DTS" to "DOLBY DIGITAL" or "ON" respectively. ◆ DOLBY DIGITAL (DVD VIDEO/DVD-VR mode only) Selects the type of Dolby Digital signal. D-PCM 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 67). Settings and Adjustments ,continued 67
