xAUDIO ATT (attenuation)
If the playback sound is distorted, set this
item to "ON." The player reduces the audio
output level.
This function affects the output of the
following jacks:
— LINE OUT L/R (AUDIO) 1/2 jacks
— 5.1CH OUTPUT jacks
OFF Turns off the audio attenuation.
Normally, select this position.
ON Reduces the audio output level so that
no sound distortion occurs.
Select this when the playback sound
from the speakers is distorted.
xAUDIO DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
(DVD only)
Makes the sound clear when the volume is
turned down when playing a DVD that has
the AUDIO DRC function. This affects the
output from the following jacks:
— LINE OUT L/R (AUDIO) 1/2 jacks
— 5.1CH OUTPUT jacks
— DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or
COAXIAL) jack only when "DOLBY
TE
L 13942296513 DIGITAL" is set to "D-PCM" (page 71).

x48kHz/96kHz PCM (DVD only)
Selects the sampling frequency of the audio
signal to be output via the DIGITAL OUT
(OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jacks.
48kHz/16bit The audio signals of DVDs are
always converted to 48kHz/16
bit.
96kHz/24bit All types of signals including
96kHz/24bit 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.
If a receiver (amplifier) which
cannot accept 96Hz is connected
to the player, do not set this.
Otherwise, a loud noise may
come out from the speakers.
Notes
• Even if you set "48kHz/96kHz PCM" in "AUDIO
SETUP" to "96kHz/24bit," the sampling frequency
is converted to 48kHz/16bit when a SURROUND
mode (page 50) is selected.
• The analog audio signals from the LINE OUT L/R
(AUDIO) 1/2 jacks are not affected by this setting
and keep their original sampling frequency level.
