Selects the DTS signals to be output via the DIGITAL OUT
OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
• D-PCM: when the player is connected to an audio

component lacking a built-in DTS decoder. If you play
DTS sound tracks, the player outputs stereo signals via
the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL
connectors.

• DTS: when the player is connected to an audio

component having a built-in DTS decoder.
If the player is connected to an audio component
lacking a built-in DTS decoder, do not set this.
Otherwise, when you play the DTS sound track, a loud
noise (or no sound) will come out from the speakers,
affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be
damaged.

x

Selects the sampling frequency of the audio signal to be
output via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL
connectors.
• 48kHz/16bit: The audio signals of DVDs are always

converted to 48 kHz/16 bit.

• 96kHz/24bit: All types of signals including 96 kHz/24

bit are output in their original format. However, if the
signal is encrypted for copyright protection purposes,
the signal is only output as 48 kHz/16 bit.

Notes

• If you select “96kHz/24bit” when a receiver (amplifier) which

cannot accept 96 kHz is connected to the player, no sound or a
loud noise will come out from the speakers.

• Even if you set “48kHz/96kHz PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP” to

“96kHz/24bit,” the sampling frequency is converted to 48
kHz/16 bit when a VIRTUAL 3D SURROUND mode is
selected.

• The analog audio signals from the AUDIO OUT connectors are

not affected by this setting and keep their original sampling
frequency level.
