Audio Connection
The following setup items switch the method
of outputting audio signals when you connect
a component such as an amplifier (receiver)
with a digital input jack.
For connection details, see "Step 3:
Connecting the Audio Cords" on page 15.
Select "Dolby Digital," "MPEG," "DTS,"
and "48kHz/96kHz PCM" after setting
"Digital Out" to "On."
If you connect a component that does not
accept the selected audio signal, a loud noise
(or no sound) will come out from the
speakers, and may affect your ears or cause
speaker damage.

signal.
48kHz/
The audio signals of DVD
16bit
VIDEOs are converted to 48
kHz/16 bit and output.
96kHz/
All signals containing
24bit
96 kHz/24 bit are output
without conversion.
However, the signals are
output at 48 kHz/16 bit if
copyright-protected signals
are contained.
b
Note
"48kHz/96kHz PCM" setting has no effect when
audio signals are output from the LINE 2 OUT (R-
AUDIO-L) jacks or LINE 1 – TV/LINE 3/
DECODER jack. If the sampling frequency is
96kHz, signals are simply converted to analogue
signals and output.
