Audio Connection
The following setup items switch the method of
outputting audio signals when you connect a
component such as an amplifier (receiver) with a
digital input jack.
For connection details, see “Step 4: Connecting
the Audio Cords” on page 16.
Select “Dolby Digital,” “MPEG,” “DTS,” and
“48kHz/96kHz PCM” after setting “Digital Out”
to “On.”
If you connect a component that does not accept
the selected audio signal, a loud noise (or no
sound) will come out from the speakers, and may
affect your ears or cause speaker damage.
1 Select “Audio Connection” in “Audio,” and
press ENTER.
2 Select “Digital Out,” and press ENTER.
3 Select “On,” and press ENTER.
4 Set the digital output signal.
• Dolby Digital (HDD/DVDs only)
Selects the type of Dolby Digital signal.
• DTS (DVD VIDEO only)
Selects whether or not to output DTS signals.
• MPEG (DVD VIDEO only)
Selects the type of MPEG audio signal.
• 48kHz/96kHz PCM (DVD VIDEO only)
Selects the sampling frequency of the audio
signal.
b Notes
• “48kHz/96kHz PCM” setting has no effect when audio
signals are output from the LINE 2 OUT (R-AUDIO-
L) jacks. If the sampling frequency is 96kHz, signals
are simply converted to 96kHz analog signals and
output.
• When you use the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or
OPTICAL) jack to listen to MPEG audio signals and
set “MPEG” to “MPEG” in “Audio” setup, no sound
will come from your speakers if you select one of the
TVS modes.
On Normally select this position.
Off The influence of the digital
circuit upon the analogue
circuit is minimal.
D-PCM
Select this when the recorder is
connected to an audio component
lacking a built-in Dolby Digital
decoder. The surround effects of
output signals are determined by
the “Downmix” setting item in
“Audio” setup.
Dolby

without a built-in MPEG decoder.
If you play MPEG audio sound
tracks, the recorder outputs stereo
signals via the DIGITAL OUT
(COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack.

connected to an audio component
with a built-in MPEG decoder.
48kHz/
16bit
The DVD video audio signal is
converted to 48kHz/16bit and
output.
96kHz/
24bit
All signals containing 96kHz/
24bit are output without
conversion. However, the signals
are output at 48kHz/16bit if
copyright-protected signals are
contained.
