Digital output

[DVD-A]

[DVD-V]

Change the settings when you have connected equipment through this
unit’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal (OPTICAL).

PCM Down Conversion

Select how to output audio with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz or
88.2 kHz.

Select “Yes” if the equipment you connect cannot process signals with a
sampling frequency of 96 kHz or 88.2 kHz.

No (Factory preset): Output as 96 kHz or 88.2 kHz
Yes: Converted to 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz

[Note]

Make sure that “Digital Audio Output” setting (

page 21) is “On”.

Signals are converted to either 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz despite the above
settings if the signals have a sampling frequency of over 96 kHz, or the
disc has copy protection.

Some equipment cannot handle sampling frequencies of 88.2 kHz, even
if they can handle 96 kHz. Read your equipment’s operating instructions
for details.

Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround

Bitstream (Factory preset for Dolby Digital):
Select if the equipment you connected can decode the signal.

PCM (Factory preset for DTS Digital Surround):
Select if the equipment you connected cannot decode the signal.

IMPORTANT
If the equipment you connected cannot decode the signal, the
setting must be changed to PCM. If not, signals the equipment cannot
process will be output by this unit, causing high levels of noise which
can damage your hearing and the speakers.

Delay time (

b

)

[DVD-V]

(Dolby Digital and DTS, center and surround speakers only)

For optimum listening with 5.1-channel sound, all the speakers, except for
the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the seating position. If
you have to place the center or surround speakers closer to the seating
position, adjust the delay time to make up for the difference.

If distances

d

(from the center speaker) and

f

(from the surround

speakers) are the same as or greater than

e

(from the front speakers),

leave the delay time as “0”, the factory preset.
If either distance

d

or

f

is less than

e

, find the difference in the relevant

table and change to the recommended setting.
