Setting for the Signal to the Digital
Output
When you select “ON,” set “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG”
and DTS.”
Switches the methods of outputting audio signals when
you connect a digital component such as a receiver
(amplifier) having a digital connector, an audio
component having a built-in DTS decoder, a DAT or MD
via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector
using an optical or coaxial digital connecting cord. For
details on the connection, see page 13.
pDOLBY DIGITAL
Selects output Dolby Digital signals via the DIGITAL OUT
OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors. You cannot select
this item when you set “DIGITAL OUT” to “OFF.”
•
D-PCM (Downmix PCM): when you play the Dolby
Digital sound tracks, the output audio signals are mixed
down to 2 channels. With the settings of the item
“DOWNMIX” in “AUDIO SETUP,” you can select
whether the signals conform to Dolby Surround (Pro
Logic) or not.
• DOLBY DIGITAL: when the player is connected to an
audio component with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder.
Note
If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a
built-in Dolby Digital decoder, do not set “DOLBY DIGITAL”
in “AUDIO SETUP” to “DOLBY DIGITAL.” 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.

DVD on which the sound in Dolby Digital format is
recorded.
•
DOLBY SURROUND: when the player is connected to
an audio component that conforms to Dolby Surround
(Pro Logic).
• NORMAL: when the player is connected to a normal
audio component.
* The setting affects the following connectors:
–AUDIO OUT connector
–DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL, COAXIAL) connectors.
pDIGITAL OUT
Selects output signals via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL
and COAXIAL connectors.
•
ON: Normally select this position. When you select
“ON,” set “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG” and “DTS.”
For details on setting them, see “Setting for the Signal to
the Digital Output.”
• OFF: when the player does not output the sound signals
via DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors,
if you select this position, the influence of the digital
circuit upon the analog one is minimum.
Notes
• When you play the sound tracks with 96 kHz sampling
frequency, the output signals from the DIGITAL OUT
(OPTICAL, COAXIAL) are converted to 48 kHz (sampling
frequency). When the signals are output from AUDIO OUT
connector, sampling frequency stays at 96kHz and the output
signals are converted to analog signals.
• When you select “OFF,” you cannot set “DOLBY DIGITAL,”
“MPEG” and DTS.”
