Audio
If the monitor or device you have connected
using HDMI is not compatible with
compressed multi-channel formats, you
should set this to
Linear PCM , otherwise set
to Auto .
• Linear PCM – All audio signals are output
as linear PCM.
• Auto – Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG
sources are processed according to how
they were encoded, and linear PCM
sources are heard with no processing.
• Even with Auto selected, if the monitor or
device you have connected using HDMI is
not compatible with multi-channel
formats, the audio signal will be output as
linear PCM.
• It is not possible to output SACD from the
HDMI connection.
• If necessary, sources with high sample
rates (such as DVD-Audio 88.2/96/176.4/
192 kHz sources) will be downsampled to
match the sampling rate of your
connected HDMI component.
CD Playback
• Default setting: PCM Playback
When set to PCM Playback , playback is
optimized for standard audio CDs. You can
also play DTS CDs, however you may notice
some noise when a DTS CD starts playing.
This is not a malfunction.
When set to DTS CD Playback , playback is
optimized for DTS CDs. In this mode you
cannot play standard audio CDs through the
analog outputs. Change the setting back to
PCM Playback to play standard CDs.
The i.LINK audio output is not affected by this
setting.
DTS Downmix
• Default setting: Stereo
If you’ve selected DTS > PCM in DTS Out on
page 62, or 2 Channel in Audio Output Mode
below, you can choose the way the DTS signal
is downmixed to PCM audio.
Stereo
downmixes the signal to 2-channel stereo,
whereas
Lt/Rt downmixes to a 2-channel
signal compatible with Dolby surround matrix
decoders. (This allows you to hear surround
sound if your AV receiver or amplifier has
Dolby Pro Logic capability.)
• If you’ve selected DTS > PCM in DTS Out
on page 62 and 5.1 Channel in Audio
Output Mode below, DTS Downmix
setting will automatically be set to Stereo .
