22.05 kHz (Sampling frequency (Fs) of the
audio source is 44.1 kHz), 24 kHz (Fs is

only)
Switches the method for mixing down to 2
channels when you play a DVD which has
rear sound elements (channels) or is recorded
in Dolby Digital format. For details on the
rear signal components, see “Checking the
audio signal format” (page 42). This function
affects the output of the following jacks:
– LINE OUT L/R (AUDIO) jacks
– DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL)/
HDMI OUT jack when “DOLBY
DIGITAL” is set to “D-PCM” (page 67).

DIGITAL OUT
Selects if audio signals are output via the
DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL)/
HDMI OUT jack.
Setting the digital output signal
Switches the method of outputting audio
signals when you connect a component such
as an amplifier (receiver) or MD deck with a
digital input jack.
For connection details, see page 21.
Select “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “DTS,” and
“48kHz/96kHz PCM” after setting
“DIGITAL OUT” to “ON.”
If you connect a component that is
incompatible with the selected audio signal, a
loud noise (or no sound) may be heard from
the speakers, risking damage to your ears or
speakers.
Notes
• The AV SYNC function (page 49) is not effective
if you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or
COAXIAL) jack, and set “DOLBY DIGITAL” or
“DTS” to “DOLBY DIGITAL” or “ON”
respectively.
• The AV SYNC function (page 49) is not effective
if you connect a Dolby Digital or DTS-compliant
