Settings and Adjustments
To obtain the best possible surround sound when you use
the 5.1CH OUTPUT connectors, use the SPEAKER SETUP
display to first specify the size of the speakers you have
connected and their distance from your listening position.
Then set the balance and level. Use the test tone to adjust
the volume of the speakers to the same level.
For speaker hookup instructions, see page 12.
The default settings are underlined.
Select “SPEAKER SETUP” in the setup display.

• FRONT
— LARGE: Normally select this.

activates the Dolby Digital bass redirection circuitry
and outputs the bass frequencies of the speaker from
the subwoofer.
• CENTER
— NONE: If you do not connect a center speaker, select
this.
— LARGE: Normally select this.
— SMALL: When the sound cracks, select this. This
activates the Dolby Digital bass redirection circuitry
and outputs the bass frequencies of the center
speaker from other speakers .
• REAR

this.
— LARGE (REAR/SIDE): Normally select either of
these according to the rear speaker’s position*.
— SMALL (REAR/SIDE): When the sound cracks or the

x DTS
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 48kHz/96kHz PCM (DVD only)
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.
