(6) Connecting to a Digital Recorder (MD Recorder, DAT Deck, etc.)

AV1

✽

Set the “AUDIO SETUP” default setting
as shown below. (See page 18.)

• “DIGITAL OUT”

→

“PCM”

“LPCM (44.1 kHz / 48 kHz)”

→

“ON”

Playing DVDs with incorrect settings may
result noise that could damage your ears or
the speakers.

NOTES:

• When connecting to a 2-channel audio stereo device, set “AUDIO CHANNEL” under “AUDIO SETUP” at

“SETUP” to “2 CHANNEL” (see page 16). For multi-channel sources, the signals are down-mixed into two
channels (analog). (Only the front left and right channels are output for sources for which down-mixing is
prohibited.)

• Set “LPCM (44.1 kHz/48 kHz)” under “AUDIO SETUP” at “SETUP” to “OFF”. (See page 18.)

(If set to “ON”, analog audio signals converted to 48 kHz will be output for linear PCM or packed PCM
sources.)

• Set “DIGITAL OUTPUT” at “PURE DIRECT MODE” to “OFF”. (See page 29.)

(If set to “ON”, analog audio signals converted to 96 kHz/88.2 kHz will be output when playing sources
recorded at 196 kHz/176.4 kHz.)

(5) Connecting a basic 5.1-channel surround system

Analog 5.1-channel audio signals can be output from the DVD-A1.
The multichannel audio signals recorded in packed PCM can be played when an AV amplifier equipped with
analog 5.1-channel audio inputs is connected.

NOTES:

• For multi-channel connections, set “AUDIO CHANNEL” under “AUDIO SETUP” at “SETUP” to “MULTI

CHANNEL” and make the “SPEAKER CONFIGURATION”, “CHANNEL LEVEL” and “DELAY TIME”
settings.

• Set “LPCM (44.1 kHz/48 kHz)” under “AUDIO SETUP” at “SETUP” to “OFF”. (See page 18.)

(If set to “ON”, analog audio signals converted to 96 kHz/88.2 kHz will be output when playing sources
recorded at 196 kHz/176.4 kHz.)

• When playing DVDs that are not copyright-protected and the unit is set to output digital and analog audio

signals simultaneously, for some discs only the signals below 96 kHz for the front two channels will be
output for the analog part.
When playing DVDs that are not copyright-protected, set “DIGITAL OUTPUT” at “PURE DIRECT MODE”
to “OFF”. (See page 29.)

• When playing DVDs recorded in MPEG audio format, the audio signals are down-mixed to 2 channels for

output.

• With the DVD-A1, we recommend turning the digital output off and only outputting analog signals in order

to keep interference from the digital output circuitry to the minimum and allow you to enjoy high bit, high
sampling frequency, high quality multi-channel sound.
