pDIGITAL OUT
Switches the methods of outputting audio signals from the
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors on the
rear panel of the player.
• PCM: when the player is connected to an audio component
without a built-in Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder
If you play the Dolby Digital (AC-3) sound track, the player
outputs no sound.
• DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM: when the player is connected to
audio component with a built-in Dolby Digital (AC-3)
decoder
• D-PCM (Downmix PCM): when you play the Dolby Digital
(AC-3) sound tracks, the output audio signals are mixed
down to 2 channels. By the settings of the item
"SURROUND," you can select whether the signals contain
the surround component or not. The output audio signals
from the 5.1 OUTPUT connectors are also mixed down in
the same way. To enjoy the original Dolby Digital (AC-3)
sound through the 5.1 OUTPUT connectors, do not set this
item to "D-PCM."
Note
Select the setting correctly. Otherwise, no sound or
strange sound will come out from the speakers,
affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be
damaged.

LINE OUT (AUDIO 1,2), and 5.1 OUTPUT connectors.

down.

there may be no effect on the sound.

equipment to be connected.

distortion occurs.

OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
