_1 If it is set to "Yes", the unit converts linear PCM to 48 kHz even
during analog output.
Do the following
if you wish to take advantage of high quality
96 kHz sound.
Select "No" and connect this unit's audio output terminal to an
amplifier's audio input terminal with the audio/video cable (in-
cluded) or an audio cable (not included).
_2When
connecting
an amplifier (with an optical or coaxial digital
input terminal) which does not contain a Dolby Digital or DTS Dig-
ital Surround decoder, be sure to select "PGM" at'2 Dolby Digital"
and "Off" at "3 DTS Digital Surround". If "Sitstream" is selected,
any attempt to play DVDs (or CDs encoded with DTS) may cause
a high level of noise that can injure your ears and damage your
speakers.
For your reference
eDolby Digita_ is a digital sound compression technique
developed
by Dolby Laboratories.
Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2-chan-
nel) sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to
be efficiently recorded on e disc.
eDTS Digital Surround is a 5.t-channel
surround sound system,
which is widely used in movie theaters around the world. The sepa-
ration between channels is good and provides a very real surround
effect.
ePCM (pulse code modulation) is the usual digital method used for
music CDs. DVDs have a greater volume so they use linear PCM,
which has a higher sampling rate.
eBitstream is a compressed digital audio signal. This signal can be
decoded into different channels to produce, for instance, 5.1-chan-
nel surround sound.
eThe digital audio output terminal (optical) converts electrical signals
into optical signals and transfers them to an amplifier. These optical
signals are immune to electrical interference, and they also have
minimal effect on other equipment.
