Settings for the Sound (AUDIO SETUP)
x MPEG
Selects the MPEG audio signals to be output via the
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
• PCM: when the player is connected to an audio
component lacking a built-in MPEG decoder. If you
play MPEG audio sound tracks, the player outputs
stereo signals via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and
COAXIAL connectors.
• MPEG: when the player is connected to an audio
component having a built-in MPEG decoder.
If the player is connected to an audio component
lacking a built-in MPEG decoder, do not set this.
Otherwise, when you play the MPEG audio sound
track, a loud noise or no sound will come out from the
speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to
be damaged.
x DTS
Selects the DTS signals to be output via the DIGITAL OUT
OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
• OFF: when the player is connected to an audio
component lacking a built-in DTS decoder.
• ON: when the player is connected to an audio
component having a built-in DTS decoder.
If the player is connected to an audio component
lacking a built-in DTS decoder, do not set this.
Otherwise, when you play the DTS sound track, a loud
noise or no sound will come out from the speakers,
affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be
damaged.
58
x 48kHz/96kHz PCM (DVD only)
Selects the sampling frequency of the audio signal to be
output via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL
connectors.
• 48kHz/16bit: The audio signals of DVDs 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.
Notes
• If you select "96kHz/24bit" when a receiver (amplifier) which
cannot accept 96 kHz is connected to the player, no sound or a
loud noise will come out from the speakers.
• Even if you set "48kHz/96kHz PCM" in "AUDIO SETUP" to
"96kHz/24bit," the sampling frequency is converted to 48
kHz/16 bit when a VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode is
selected.
• The analog audio signals from the AUDIO OUT connectors are
not affected by this setting and keep their original sampling
frequency level.
