or Your Reference:
• Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression
technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories
L
icensing Corporation. Supporting 5.1- or 6.1-
channel surround sound depending on the specific
disc, as well as stereo (2-channel) sound, this tech-
nique enables a large quantity of sound data to be
e
fficiently recorded on a disc.
DTS is another digital audio technology developed
by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. It supports 5.1 and
6.1 surround sound, depending on the specific
disc
, thanks to a sophisticated encoding system.
Some receivers and processors also feature
Dolby Pro Logic IIx and DTS Neo:6
®
matrix post-
processing decoders that may be used with DTS
5.1 discs to derive the surround back channel.
• Linear PCM is a signal-recording format used in
CDs. While CDs are recorded in 44.1kHz/16-bit,
DVDs are recorded in 48kHz/16-bit up to
96kHz/24-bit.
If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder
connected to the DVD 37’s analog audio out con-
nectors, thanks to the “Downmix” function of the
DVD 37 you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic
from the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1-
channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from
titles encoded with Dolby Surround.
The DVD 37 is designed to digitally output 96kHz
PCM audio with a 96kHz sampling rate. The 96kHz
indicator will light in the display. However, some
96kHz DVDs may include copy protection codes
that do not permit digital output. For full 96kHz
fidelity from these discs, use the analog outputs of
the DVD 37. If your surround processor converter
does not support 96kHz PCM audio,
you must use
the DVD 37 analog outputs for full 96kHz fidelity
with these discs.
When connecting a receiver or surround processor
with a digital input that does not contain a Dolby
Digital or DTS decoder, be sure to select PCM as
the initial setting in the Digital Output menu (see
page 21). Otherwise, any attempt to play DVDs may
cause such a high level of noise that it may be
harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.
CDs can be played as they would in a conventional
CD player.
• Dolby Digital, DTS and PCM signals are passed
through the
HDMI Output 2.
However
,
DVD-Audio
signals are not carried via the HDMI connection. You
must connect the
6-Channel Audio Outputs 9
to the corresponding input jacks on your receiver or
processor in order to enjoy DVD-Audio materials.
D
olby Digital and DTS
Both Dolby Digital and DTS are audio formats used to
record 5.1-channel audio signals onto the digital track
o
f film. Both of these formats provide up to six sepa-
rate channels: left, right, center, left surround, right
surround and LFE (low-frequency effects).
S
ome discs may include the 6.1-channel formats,
s
uch as Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES
®
D
iscrete or
Matrix. These formats add an additional surround back
channel behind the listener to create an even more
realistic sense of envelopment.
Remember that Dolby Digital or DTS will only play
5.1-channel sound if you’ve connected the optical or
coaxial output of the DVD 37 to a DTS or Dolby Digital
receiver or decoder (see page 16) and if the disc was
recorded in the Dolby Digital or DTS format.
NOTE: Some first-generation DTS decoders that do
not support DVD-DTS interface may not work properly
with the DVD/CD player.
DVD-Audio and SACD
The high-resolution output of DVD-Audio discs is only
available as an analog signal. For that reason, it is nec-
essary to make direct analog connections between the
6-Channel Audio Outputs 9 on the DVD 37 and
the matching 6-channel inputs on your receiver or
surround processor.
