• DOWNMIX
Switches the mixing down methods when you play a
DVD on which rear signal components such as LS, RS or S
are recorded in Dolby Digital format. For details on the
rear signal components, see "Displaying the audio
information of the disc" (page 35).
The "DOWNMIX" setting affects the following
connectors:
- AUDIO OUT connectors
- DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors
(when you set "DOLBY DIGITAL" to "D-PCM" in
"AUDIO SETUP" in the setup display)
• DOLBY SURROUND: when the player is connected to
an audio component that conforms to Dolby Surround
(Pro Logic). The output signals which reproduce the
Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) effect are mixed down to 2
channels.
• NORMAL: when the player is connected to an audio
component that does not conform to Dolby Surround
(Pro Logic). The signals without the Dolby Surround
(Pro Logic) effect are output.
• DIGITAL OUT
Selects output signals via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL
and COAXIAL connectors.
• ON: Normally select this position. When you select
"ON," set "DOLBY DIGITAL" and "DTS." For details
on setting these items, see "Setting the Digital Output
Signal."
• OFF: when the player does not output the sound signals
via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL
connectors, the influence of the digital circuit upon the
analog circuit is at a minimum.
Notes
• When you play sound tracks with a 96 kHz sampling
frequency, the output signals from the DIGITAL OUT
(OPTICAL, COAXIAL) connectors are converted to 48 kHz
(sampling frequency). The analog audio signals from the
AUDIO OUT connectors are not affected by this setting and
keep their original sampling frequency level.
• When you select "OFF," you cannot set "DOLBY DIGITAL"
and "DTS."
Setting the Digital Output Signal
Switches the methods of outputting audio signals when
you, connect 1. a digital component such as a receiver
(amplifier) having a digital connector, 2. an audio
component having a built-in decoder (Dolby Digital or
DTS), 3. a DAT or MD via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or
COAXIAL connector using an optical or coaxial digital
connecting cord. For connection details, see pages 10 and
12.
When you select "ON," set "DOLBY DIGITAL" and
"DTS."

track, a loud noise or no sound will come out from the
speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to
be damaged.
