MPEG

Selects output MPEG AUDIO signals via the DIGITAL
OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.  You cannot
select this item when you set “DIGITAL OUT” to “OFF.”
• PCM: when the player is connected to an audio

component lacking a built-in MPEG decoder. If you
play MPEG AUDIO sound tracks, the player outputs
stereo signals taken from MPEG AUDIO signals via the
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.

component having a built-in MPEG decoder.

AUDIO sound track, a loud noise will come out from the
speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be
damaged.

The player outputs the MPEG analog audio sound only from the
front speakers when you set “DIGITAL OUT” in “AUDIO
