DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
To connect the unit's digital output to an external device equipped
with a digital input, this item must be set correctly.
See "Appendix C: Digital output signal chart" on page 50 for
details about the relation between the setting and output signals.
Setting options
PCM ONLY, DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM, STREAM/PCM
[PCM ONLY]: select when you connect the DIGITAL OUT jack of
the unit to the linear PCM digital input of other audio equipment.
[DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM]: select when you connect the digital
input of a Dolby Digital decoder or an amplifier with a built-in

When this option is selected, playing back a DTS-encoded disc
or disc recorded by the MPEG Multichannel format outputs a
linear PCM digital signal.
[STREAM/PCM]: select when you connect the digital input of an
amplifier with a built-in DTS, MPEG Multichannel or Dolby
Digital decoder, or the stand-alone unit of such a decoder.
NOTE
When [STREAM/PCM] is selected, note the following points:
- With some DVD VIDEO discs that are not fully copy-protected,
a 20 or 24 bit digital signal may be output.
- A signal recorded with the 96 kHz or higher sampling
frequency is output from the DIGITAL OUT jack with the 48
kHz sampling frequency.
- When playing a DVD VIDEO or Audio CD disc with DTS, use
a DTS decoder to get correct signals from your speakers.
