To Listen to a High-Frequency/High-
Quantization Format Source in its
Original Sound Quality – 96k Sound
The high frequency/high quantization sound signals below are
converted into 48 kHz/16 bit sound signals and sent to the
speakers when the “Audio Out Select” (sound signal
conversion method) is set to the standard setting, “Bitstream.”
High frequency/high quantization signals
• 48 kHz/24 bit
• 96 kHz/16 bit
• 96 kHz/20 bit
• 96 kHz/24 bit
To listen to the high-frequency (kHz)/hight-quantization (bit)
format sounds in their original sound quality, follow the steps
below.
Change the sound signal
conversion method to “96k Sound”
following the steps on the left.
See a in the table titled “Sound from the
speakers” on the opposite page.
The DVD videos recorded in 48 kHz/24 bit,
96 kHz/16 bit, 96 kHz/20 bit, and 96 kHz/
24 bit are reproduced through the
speakers at the same kHz and bit rate
respectively.
If a subwoofer is connected, set the
subwoofer mode to “SW Off.”
See “Setting the Subwoofer Mode” on
page 19.
Change the sound to stereo.
See “Changing the Sound to Stereo” on

Notes
• The “Audio Out Select” setting in the setting menu (see page 56) is
for automatic selection of the sound conversion method when the
disc is inserted. Therefore, the selection in this section will not
change the setting of “Audio Out Select” in the setting menu.
• When you turn on the DVD Receiver or replace a disc, the DVD
Receiver returns to the automatic setting in the setting menu. (See
page 56.)
The reproduced disc sound will be output in the most suitable format
automatically through the connected speakers and output connector/jacks
on the DVD Receiver when “Audio Out Select” in the setting menu is set to
“Bitstream” (see page 56).
However, you may need to convert the sound format in different ways
depending on your purpose and preference.
For example, when you wish to:
• Listen to the high-frequency (kHz)/high-quantization (bit) format source
in its original sound quality (see below), or
• Record the DVD video sound reproduced in the DOLBY DIGITAL format
using recording equipment such as an MD recorder connected to the
DIGITAL OUTPUT (OPT) connector on the DVD Receiver (see next
page).
This function enables you to temporarily change the sound signal conversion method which has been selected
automatically according to the automatic setting in the setting menu (see pages 52 and 56).
