To set the digital output signal
The following switches the method of
outputting audio signals when you connect a
component such as an amplifier (receiver) or
MD deck with a digital input jack.
For connection details, see page 20.
Select “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “DTS,” and
“48kHz/96kHz PCM.”
If you connect a component that does not
conform to the selected audio signal, a loud
noise (or no sound) will come out from the
speakers, damaging your ears or speakers.
• DOLBY DIGITAL (DVD VIDEO/DVD-
RW only)
Selects the type of Dolby Digital signal.
• DTS (DVD VIDEO/DTS-CD)
Selects the type of DTS signal.
Note
When “DTS” is set to “DTS” and a DTS-CD is
played back, audio signals are not output from the
LINE OUT AUDIO L/R 1/2 jacks. When a
component that cannot receive the stream signal of
DTS is connected to the HDMI OUT jack, audio
signals are not output from the HDMI OUT jack.
• 48kHz/96kHz PCM (DVD VIDEO only)
Selects the sampling frequency of the audio
signal.
Notes
• The analog audio signals from the LINE OUT
AUDIO L/R jacks and 5.1CH OUTPUT jacks are
not affected by this setting and keep their original
sampling frequency level.
• If the HDMI OUT jack is connected to equipment
not compatible with 96 kHz/24 bit signals,
48 kHz/16 bit PCM will be automatically output
even when you select “96kHz/24bit.”
◆AUDIO (HDMI)
Selects the type of audio signal output from
the HDMI OUT jack.
Notes
• A loud noise (or no sound) will be output if you
connect the player to a TV that is not compatible
with DOLBY DIGITAL/DTS signals and
“AUTO” is selected. In this case, select “PCM.”
• If you are using the HDMI OUT jack, make sure
that “DIGITAL OUT” is set to “ON.”
D-PCM Select this when the player is
connected to an audio
component lacking a built-in
Dolby Digital decoder. You can
select whether the signals
conform to Dolby Surround
(Pro Logic) or not by making
adjustments to the
“DOWNMIX” item in
“AUDIO SETUP” (page 81).
DOLBY
DIGITAL
Select this when the player is
connected to an audio
component with a built-in
Dolby Digital decoder.
D-PCM
Select this when the player is
connected to an audio
component without a built-in
DTS decoder.
DTS Select this when the player is
connected to an audio
component with a built-in DTS
decoder.

48kHz/16bit
48kHz/16bit The audio signals of DVD
VIDEOs are always converted
to 48 kHz/16 bit.
96kHz/24bit All types of signals including
96 kHz/24 bit are output in their
original format. However, if the
signal is encrypted for
copyright protection purposes,
the signal is only output as 48
kHz/16 bit.
AUTO
Normally, select this. Outputs
audio signals according to the
“DIGITAL OUT” settings
(page 82).
PCM Converts Dolby Digital, DTS,
or 96 kHz/24 bit PCM signals to
48 kHz/16 bit PCM.
