Settings (Audio)

Analog output settings

[AUDIO q Analog Out]

Digital output settings

[AUDIO q Digital Out]

2ch

Outputs 2-channel audio from the the i.LINK (AUDIO) and the

HDMI terminals.

If multi-channel program material is played, the multi-channel

material will be downmixed to two channels and the DOWN

MIX indicator will light on the display.

See page 30 for how to set the downmix mode.

Multi Channel

The unit outputs the multi-channel surround sound.

Select this when the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal or the HDMI

terminal is connected to a surround sound amplifier with a

decoder.

The MULTI indicator will light on the display.

Note that if “Multi Channel” is selected, only the front L/R

sound of the multi-channel material will be output from the

AUDIO OUT terminals.

Note that some DVD discs cannot be downmixed (from multi

channel to 2-channel). In these cases, no digital sound will be

output.

Speakers should be set up properly for multi-channel use. See

page 34 for details.

< Note that if “Multi Channel” is selected and If the connected

HDMI component cannot accept multi-channel sound, only

the front L/R sound of the multi-channel material will be

output from the HDMI terminal.

Audio is output from the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal, the

DIGITAL OUT terminals and the HDMI terminal.

OFF

Audio is not output from the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal, the

DIGITAL OUT terminals and the HDMI terminal. If you are not

using these terminals, we suggest that you use this OFF

setting for better analog sound.

Digital sound from Super Audio CDs cannot be output from

the HDMI and the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL)

terminals.

When using the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL)

terminals, DVD audio at 192kHz or 174.4kHz is converted to

96/88.2kHz sampling frequency. Some discs may be

converted to 48kHz or 44.1kHz. Some may not output digital

audio (depending on the disc).

If downsampling is turned on, 192kHz and 96kHz discs will

be automatically converted to 48kHz digital audio, and

174.4kHz and 88.2kHz discs will be converted to 44.1kHz

audio. Some discs converted in this way may not output

digital audio (depending on the disc).

CD Digital Direct

[AUDIO q CD Digital Direct]

Direct

This setting bypasses unnecessary circuitry and provides better

sound quality when listening to audio CDs.

Normal

When the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal is connected to a surround

sound amplifier with a decoder, and when you don’t use the

speaker menus of the amplifier, select this setting.

When playing back DTS-CDs (DTS digital surround), select this

setting.
