7. Digital Audio Output
Select the appropriate position for your AV system (AV amplifier, etc.) which this
unit is connected to. When you setup your AV system, you must adjust this setting
before starting playback. Otherwise, there may be a digital signal which the
connected equipment cannot process and the consequent noise could damage your
ears and your speakers.
DESCRIPTION OF EACH ITEM
* Select ‘No’ if the digital audio input of your audio equipment (AV amplifier,
etc.) can handle 96 kHz /24 bit signal. If it is not acceptable for 96 kHz /24
bit digital audio signal, or the 96 kHz linear PCM disc you want to play is
copyright-protected, it is recommended to set ‘1 No’ and make analog
connection to enjoy high quality sound. If it is set to ‘2 Yes’, signal is
converted to linear PCM 48 kHz before being output from analog output.
** When connecting equipment which does not have decoder for each format, be
sure to select this position to prevent noise output as it could damage your
ears and your speakers.
*** Depending on disc’s capability, MPEG audio bitstream may not be output
properly.
