digital output
Switch the methods of outputting audio signals
when you connect a digital component such as a
receiver (amplifier), DAT, or MD via the
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL jack using an optical
digital connecting cord. For details on the
connection, see page 86.
DOLBY DIGITAL -------------------- Select
output of Dolby Digital signals via the DIGITAL
OUT OPTICAL jack. You cannot select this item
when you set “DIGITAL OUT” to “OFF”.
D-PCM (Downmix PCM): When you play
Dolby Digital sound tracks, the output audio
signals are mixed down to 2 channels.
DOLBY DIGITAL: When the player is
connected to an audio component with a built-
in Dolby Digital decoder.
Notes
If the player is connected to an audio component
lacking a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, do not set
“DOLBY DIGITAL” in “AUDIO SETUP” to
“DOLBY DIGITAL.” Otherwise, when you play
the Dolby Digital sound track, a loud noise or no
sound will come out from the speakers, affecting
your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.
MPEG AUDIO is converted to linear PCM (LPCM)
before being output.
Setting for sound (continued)
DIGITAL OUT ------------------------ Select
output signals via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL
jack.
ON: Normally select this position. When you
select “ON”, set “DOLBY DIGITAL”. For
details, see “Setting for the signal to the digital
output.”
OFF: Select this when the player does not
output the sound signals via the DIGITAL OUT
OPTICAL jack. If you select this position, the
influence of the digital circuit upon the analog
one is minimum.
Notes
When you play sound tracks with 96 kHz sampling
frequency, the output signals from the DIGITAL
OUT OPTICAL jack are converted to 48 kHz
(sampling frequency). When the signals are output
from the MD OUT jacks, the sampling frequency
stays at 96kHz and the output signals are converted
to analog signals.
When you select “OFF,” you cannot set “DOLBY
DIGITAL”.
