DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
To connect the unit’s digital output to an external device equipped
with a digital input, this item must be set correctly.
See “Appendix C: Digital output signal chart” on page 30 for
details about the relation between the setting and output signals.
Setting options
PCM ONLY, DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM, STREAM/PCM

the unit to the linear PCM digital input of other audio
equipment.
[DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM]: select when you connect the digital
input of a Dolby Digital decoder or an amplifier with a built-in
Dolby Digital decoder.
When this option is selected, playing back a disc recorded by
the MPEG Multichannel format outputs a linear PCM digital
signal.
[STREAM/PCM]: select when you connect the digital input of an
amplifier with a built-in DTS, MPEG Multichannel or Dolby
Digital decoder, or the stand-alone unit of such a decoder.
• With some DVD VIDEO discs that are not fully copy-protected,
a 20 or 24 bit digital signal may be output.
• A signal recorded with the 96 kHz or higher sampling frequency
is output from the DIGITAL OUT jack with the 48 kHz sampling
frequency.

• When playing a DVD VIDEO or Audio CD disc with DTS, use a
DTS decoder to get correct signals from your speakers.
• DTS-encoded signal is output only from the unit’s DIGITAL OUT
jacks.
• If the unit is not connected to audio equipment with a DTS
decoder, DTS-encoded signal output from the DIGITAL OUT
jacks is distorted.
