Setting the digital output signal
Switches the method of outputting audio
signals when you connect a component such
as an audio component or MD deck with a
digital input jack.
For connection details, see page 10.
Select "DOLBY DIGITAL," "MPEG," and
"48kHz/96kHz PCM" after setting
"DIGITAL OUT" to "ON."
If you connect a component that is
incompatible with the selected audio signal, a
loud noise (or no sound) may be heard from
the speakers, risking damage to your ears or
speakers.
◆ DOLBY DIGITAL
Selects the type of Dolby Digital signal.
DOLBY
Select this when the player is
DIGITAL connected to an audio
component with a built-in
Dolby Digital decoder.
D-PCM Select this when the player is
connected to an audio
component without a built-in
Dolby Digital decoder. You can
select whether the signals
conform to Dolby Surround
(Pro Logic) or not by making
adjustments to the
"DOWNMIX" item in
"AUDIO SETUP" (page 23).

original sampling frequency level.
• If the HDMI OUT jack is connected to equipment
not compatible with Dolby Digital, MPEG audio
or 96 kHz/24 bit signals, D-PCM, PCM or
48 kHz/16 bit PCM will be output respectively,
regardless of the settings.
