Getting Started

If the i.LINK interface is active, all other
audio outputs are switched off. You can
check by looking at the i.LINK indicator on
the front panel. If it

s lit then the player is

outputting audio over i.LINK. See

Audio

Out

on page 74 for how to switch it off.

• 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
through the optical and coaxial outputs.
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

optical/coaxial digital outputs or the HDMI
interface?

SACD audio is only available through the
analog outputs and the i.LINK connector.
This is not a malfunction. Also, some
DVD-Audio discs only output audio
through the analog outputs and i.LINK
connector.

• Why does the volume level seem lower

during SACD playback?

Compared to CDs, SACD audio may seem
slightly lower in volume due to this player
specification.

• 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 optical and coaxial digital
outputs. In addition, high sampling rate
DVD-Audio discs (96kHz or higher) auto-
matically downsample audio output from
the optical/coaxial digital outputs.

Using the multichannel analog audio
outputs or the i.LINK connector for DVD-
Audio have none of these limitations.

• I’ve connected to a HDMI/DVI 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.

An HDMI connection can only be made
with components compatible with both
DVI and High Bandwidth Digital Content
Protection (HDCP). See

HDMI

on page 20 for more on HDMI

compatibility.

• There’s no picture from the HDMI output!

Depending on the source material, you
may not be able to get a picture from DVI-
compatible sources. DVI sources must
also be encoded using High Bandwidth
Digital Content Protection (HDCP) for you
to see a picture using this player. See
