Pioneer DV-696AV-S Operating Instructions Manual page 25

Getting started
• My AV receiver is definitely compatible with
96/88.2kHz Linear PCM audio, but it doesn't
seem to work with this player. What's
wrong?
For digital copy-protection purposes, some
96/88.2kHz DVD discs only output digital
audio downsampled to 48/44.1kHz. This is
not a malfunction.
To fully take advantage of the high
sampling rate audio, connect the analog
audio outputs to your amplifier/receiver.
• Why can't I hear SACD audio through the
digital outputs?
SACD audio is only available through the
analog outputs. This is not a malfunction.
Some DVD-Audio discs too only output
audio through the analog outputs.
• Is it better to listen to DVD-Audio discs
through the analog outputs?
Some DVD-Audio discs do not output
anything through the digital outputs, and
multichannel discs are downmixed to
stereo for the digital output. In addition,
high sampling rate DVD-Audio discs
(higher than 96kHz) automatically
downsample audio output from the digital
outputs.
Using the multichannel analog audio
outputs for DVD-Audio have none of these
limitations.
• My DVD-Audio disc starts playing, but then
suddenly stops!
The disc may have been illegally copied.
• I've connected to a HDMI compatible
component but I can't get any signal and
the front panel HDMI indicator won't light!
Make sure that you've selected this player
as the HDMI input in the settings for the
component you're using. You may need to
refer to the instruction manual of the
component to do this. See Connecting
using HDMI on page 15 for more on HDMI
compatibility.
• Why can't I hear SACD audio through the
optical/coaxial digital outputs or the HDMI
interface?
SACD audio is only available through the
analog outputs. This is not a malfunction.
Also, some DVD-Audio discs only output
audio through the analog outputs.
• There's no picture from the HDMI output!
This player cannot display pictures from
DVI compatible sources. See Connecting
using HDMI on page 15 for more on HDMI
compatibility.
Make sure the resolution on this player
matches that of the component you have
connected using HDMI. See HDMI
Resolution on page 39 to change the HDMI
resolution.
