Surround connections to a device with 5.1-channels of analog audio inputs
• 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-3930’s “D.MIX” indicator lights).
For sources for which down-mixing is prohibited,
only the FL and FR channels are output.
NOTE:
• When connecting to a 2-channel audio stereo device, use the “2ch AUDIO OUT” terminals. 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 multi-
channel, analog signals that have been down-mixed into 2 channels are output. (For sources for
which down-mixing is prohibited, only the FL/FR signals are output.)
