Pioneer Dv-626D Operating Guide

This player is capable of digital audio output for Dolby
Digital, DTS, MPEG, and signals with a sampling rate of
96 kHz. Make settings in the Setup screen Audio 1
menu to reflect the capabilities of the components that
you have made digital connections to.

• If you have already completed the Setup Navigator screen

operations, the settings on this page have already been set by
the player.

• If you have made only stereo line connections (analog) using

the supplied audio cord, it is not necessary to make any
changes in this menu.

This player is capable of outputting the Dolby Digital
surround sound audio signal. When the player is
connected to an AV component that has a built-in Dolby
Digital decoder, select “Dolby Digital”. This player can
also convert the Dolby Digital signal to a digital Linear
PCM signal, the same digital signal output from a CD.
Select “Dolby Digital 

3 PCM” when you have made

connections to an amplifier or receiver with a Dolby Pro
Logic decoder or a Digital Analog Converter (DAC).

Settings: Dolby Digital*

3 PCM

*Factory setting

There is no digital signal output when “Dolby Digital 

3 PCM” is

selected during 5.1 channel output or when the Virtual Dolby
Digital indicator is lit during DVD playback.

This player is capable of outputting DTS digital audio for
DVDs recorded in DTS. When this player is connected to
an AV component that has a built-in DTS decoder, select
“DTS”. If your system is not equipped to decode DTS,
select “Off”. Refer to the operating instructions supplied
with your audio components if you are unsure about
compatibility with DTS.

Settings: Off*

* Factory Setting

If you have made digital audio connections to component(s) not
equipped to decode the DTS digital bitstream, be sure to select
“Off”. If a DTS signal is output without decoding, the output is
digital noise that could potentially cause damage to your
speakers.

This player is capable of outputting digital signals with a
sampling frequency of 96 kHz. If you have made
connections to a component capable of processing this
signal rate, select “96 kHz” for the signal to be output as
is. As some components are incapable of processing
digital signal input with sampling rates of 96 kHz,
selecting “96 kHz 

3 48 kHz” compresses the signal to a

standard signal with a sampling rate of 48 kHz.

Settings: 96 kHz 

3 48 kHz*

* Factory Setting

• On DVDs that contain copy protection, the 96 kHz signal may

only be output from the analog audio jacks. When this type of
disc is encountered, even if “96 kHz” is selected, the player
automatically outputs the digital audio signal at a compressed
rate of 48 kHz.

• When a DVD is played back in the letter box format, Linear

PCM digital audio playback is output is automatically
downsampled to 48 kHz (when the original signal is 96 kHz). In
order to hear audio at the sampling rate of 96 kHz, set the
Setup screen Video menu [TV Screen] setting to either
“Wide” or “4:3 (Pan & Scan)” (page 34).

• Changes to the [96 kHz PCM Out] setting cannot be made

when a disc is playing.

This player is capable of outputting the MPEG digital
bitstream. When the player is connected to an AV
component that has a built-in MPEG decoder, select the
“MPEG” setting. Otherwise, select “MPEG 

3 PCM” to

convert the digital signal to the PCM signal, the digital
signal output from a CD.

Settings: MPEG

3 PCM*
