■ LPCM
PCM ⇔ Off
This player is capable of outputting the LPCM audio signal.
To output the LPCM audio signal, Select [PCM]. When you
do not want to output the LPCM audio signal, select [Off].
■ Dolby Digital
Bitstream ⇔ PCM
This player is capable of outputting the Dolby Digital
surround sound audio signal. When the player is connected to
an AV component that has built-in Dolby Digital decoder,
select [Bitstream]. This player can also convert the Dolby
Digital signal to a digital Linear PCM signal, the same digital
signal output from a CD. Select [PCM] when you have made
connections to an amplifier or receiver with a Dolby Pro
Logic decoder or a Digital Analog Converter (DAC).
■ DTS
Bitstream ⇔ Off
This player is capable of outputting the DTS digital audio for
DVDs recorded in DTS. When the player is connected to an
AV component that has built-in DTS decoder, select
[Bitstream]. If your system is not equipped to decode DTS,
select [Off]. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with
your audio components if you are unsure about compatibility
with DTS.
Note
If you have made digital audio connections to component(s)
not equipped to decode the DTS digital bitstream, be sure to
select [Off]. If a DTS signal is output without decoding, the
output is digital noise that could potentially cause damage to
your speakers.
■ MPEG
PCM ⇔ Bitstream ⇔ Off
This player is capable of outputting the MPEG digital
bitsteam. When the player is connected to an AV component
that has a built-in MPEG decoder, select the [Bitstream]
setting. Otherwise, select [PCM] to convert the digital signal
to the PCM signal, the digital signal output from a CD. When
you do not want to output the MPEG digital bitstream nor
change the signal to PCM format, select [Off].
Maximum ⇔ Compressed
When the setting is [Compressed], soft sounds such as dialog can
be heard more clearly without making loud sounds even louder.
When the setting is set to [Maximum], there is no effect on the
audio source.
Notes
• Dynamic Range is only effective with Dolby Digital audio
sources.
• The level may differ depending on the DVD.
• The effect depends on your speakers and AV amplifier settings.
True 96kHz ⇔ 48kHz Compatible
If your AV amplifier (or other connected component) is
compatible with high sampling rates (96 kHz), set this to [True 96
kHz], otherwise set it to [48 kHz Compatible] (96 kHz audio is
converted to a more compatible 48 kHz). Check the manual that
came with the other component if you are unsure whether it is 96
kHz compatible.
Note
On DVDs that contain copy protection, the 96 kHz signal may
only be output from the analog audio jacks.
