To change the Sample Frequency setting, first select
the desired digital audio output type as indicated on
page 51.
If your A/V receiver or surround processor is NOT
capable of handling 96kHz signals, select the 48kHz
option. When this choice is made, this unit will auto-
matically convert any 96kHz signals to a 48kHz out-
put so that your system is capable of decoding them. 
If your A/V receiver or surround processor is capable
of handling 96kHz signals, select the 96kHz option.
When this choice is made, this unit will pass each
type of signal through without any further processing. 

• When you are not using the player’s digital audio

output, don’t select any of the options.

• If an active digital audio output signal is supplied

to a receiver or other equipment without a corre-
sponding digital decoding capability, a very loud
noise may be produced which could permanently
damage the speakers.

• The DTS DVD disc sound is played back only

when the DVD player is connected to a receiver
with a DTS decoder.
