Settings and Adjustments zYou can directly switch the digital audio output on or off When "DIGITAL OUT" is set to "ON" and the player is stopped, press AUDIO DIRECT on the player. The digital audio output is turned on or off. Note, however, that the "DIGITAL OUT" setting remains the same. Notes • When you select "OFF," you cannot set "DOLBY DIGITAL," "DTS" and "48kHz/96kHz PCM." • SACD sound signals are not output from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connectors. 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 13. 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 AUDIO FILTER: SHARP DOWNMIX: DOLBY SURROUND DIGITAL OUT: ON DOLBY DIGITAL: D-PCM DTS: OFF 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 Outputs the DTS signal from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors. • OFF: when the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in DTS decoder. • ON: 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 and word length 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. Note 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. 61
