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,
MPEG 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 pages 12 and 14.
When you select “ON,” set “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG”
and “DTS.”

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.
Note
When you select “D-PCM,” set Virtual Enhanced Surround (VES)
to “OFF.” Otherwise, the player will not output signals from the
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector.
