If the "5.1ch AUDIO OUT FL/FR" terminals are used, set "AUDIO SETUP" in "initial settings" to "2CH (VSS OFF)", "2CH (VSS1 ON)" or "2CH (VSS2 ON)" ( page 22). For software recorded in multichannel, analog signals that have been down-mixed into two channels are output. (For sources for which down-mixing is prohibited, only the FL/FR signals are output.) Surround connections to a device with 5.1-channels of analog audio inputs The multi-channel audio signals of Super Audio CDs and multi-channel audio signals recorded in packed PCM format can be played. AV amplifier B CENTER A SURROUND L L L R R R • Bitstream: These are signals that have been compressed and converted to digital. Depending on the decoder, they are decoded for example into 5.1-channel multi-channel audio signals. • Linear PCM (LPCM): These are audio signals that have been converted to digital without being compressed (the signal recording format used for music CDs). While music CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit format, DVDs are recorded in anything between 44.1 kHz/16 bit and 192 kHz/24 bit format, so they generally offer higher sound quality than music CDs. • Packed PCM (PPCM): These are compressed PCM signals providing high sound quality with virtually no data loss when restored to the original signals. • When a DVD source containing PCM signals recorded in multi-channel is played, the signals are down-mixed to the 2-channels for output (the DVD-2930CI's "D.MIX" indicator lights). For sources for which down-mixing is prohibited, only the FL and FR channels are output. B SUBWOOFER J FRONT L L L R R R • To achieve high quality analog sound, we recommend setting "DIGITAL OUTPUT" to "OFF" for the "PURE DIRECT MODE" setting ( page 28). (This minimizes influence from the digital output circuitry.) 10 ENGLISH
