Max Sampling Frequency
• When playing back a sampling frequency file or a disk having a lower than or equal setting compared to the present setting,
you can output it at the unchanged sampling frequency.
• Sources with sampling frequencies of over 192 kHz cannot be played.
• When playing copyright-protected discs or files, the signals are output with the sampling frequency limited to 48 kHz or below,
regardless of this setting.
DRC (Dynamic Range
Control)
• This affects such audio signals as Dolby Digital, Dolby TrueHD, and Dolby Digital Plus.
• DRC affects audio signals output from the following audio output terminals:
– Analog audio signals output from the AUDIO OUT terminals
– Linear PCM audio signals output from the DIGITAL OUT or HDMI OUT terminals
• Depending on the disc, the effect may be weak.
• The effect may differ depending on the speakers, the AV amplifier settings, etc.

Options Explanation
Bitstream Select this to output digital audio signals directly.
Select this to output digital audio signals converted to 2-channel audio
PCM
signals.
Re-encode When a BD containing secondary audio and interactive audio is played, the
two audio signals are mixed and converted to Dolby Digital audio or DTS
audio for output.
Off Select this to output audio signals other than digital audio signals.
Surround audio signals converted to linear PCM audio signals are converted
Stereo
into 2-channel (stereo) signals for output.
Lt/Rt Surround for output (when the connected AV receiver or amplifier, etc., is
compatible with Dolby Pro Logic, the AV receiver or amplifier outputs the
linear PCM audio signals as surround audio signals).
Outputs audio signals that are limited to a sampling frequency below the set
48k
sampling frequency from the DIGITAL OUT terminal. Select according to the
96k
performance of the connected device.
192k
Select this to output audio signals without using the DRC function.
Off
On Select this to adjust the range between the loudest and softest sounds
(dynamic range) for playback at average volume. Use this when it is hard to
hear dialog or when watching movies at midnight.
Auto Select to switch the DRC setting On/Off automatically according to the input
audio signal from the disc. This only affects Dolby TrueHD signals.
Precision Audio is a function and technology for high quality sound playback
Auto
used according to the channel used for audio playback. Jitters, which
detrimentally affect sound quality, occur when the transmission or
processing of digital signals is performed. The effects of such jitters can be
eliminated by processing signals with reference to a crystal oscillator, which
is optimally suited to act as a standard for audio signals.
Select Auto mode when automatically operating the unit according to the
status of connected devices.
HDMI(PQLS) Select the HDMI (PQLS) mode when operating the unit for HDMI output. The
PQLS function will operate in such cases.
Analog Select Analog mode when operating the unit for analog audio output from
the main unit. The signal processing for audio signals made with reference
to the highly accurate crystal oscillator is performed inside the main unit.
Off Select the Off mode when not using the Precision Audio function.
Set Pin 2 on the XLR terminal to normal phase (Hot) and Pin 3 to the reverse
Normal
phase (Cold).
Inversion Set Pin 2 on the XLR terminal to reverse phase (Cold) and Pin 3 to the normal
phase (Hot).
