• The symbols a, c, g, h, and i are referred to on the previous page and this page.
• The symbols b, c, d, e, and f are referred to on page 62 in “Recording Using the Connected Equipment.”
Sound from the speakers
Sound signals from the digital output and kHz/bit used to convert digital signals to analog signals
*
1
Some discs have more than one sound system that
can be selected (see page 47).
*
2
You can change the conversion method temporarily
as described on the previous page, or permanently
using the setting menu (see pages 52 and 56).
Changing the DOLBY DIGITAL Surround
Sound Format to the Digitally Recordable
Frequency (kHz)/Quantization (bit)
Change the sound signal conversion method to “PCM”
following the steps in “Changing the Sound Signal Conversion
Method Temporarily” on the opposite page.
Referring to c in the table below, the DOLBY DIGITAL
Surround format will be converted into the 48 kHz/16 bit
format which is recordable.
DVD
Changing the MPEG2 Sound Format of
the DVD video to Analog Signals for
Recording
Digital recording of MPEG2 sounds is impossible regardless
of the sound signal conversion methods. However, analog
recording of MPEG2 is possible if you change the sound
format to analog signals.
To record MPEG2 sounds from the analog output jacks,
change the sound signal conversion method to “96k Sound” or
“PCM” following the steps in “Changing the Sound Signal
Conversion Method Temporarily” on the opposite page.
Referring to i in the table below, the MPEG2 format will
be converted into the recordable analog signals using the
48 kHz/16 bit format, whereas the MPEG2 sounds are not
output to the analog output jacks when the sound signal
conversion method is “Bitstream” (h in the table below).

Reproducing MPEG2 Sounds from
DVD Videos
Referring to g in the table below, MPEG2 sound is not
reproduced from the speakers when the sound signal
conversion method is the factory setting, “Bitstream.”
To reproduce MPEG2 sound from DVD Videos, change the
sound signal conversion method to “96k Sound” or “PCM”
following the steps in “Changing the Sound Signal Conversion
Method Temporarily” on the opposite page.
