48kHz/16bit The audio signals of DVD VIDEOs are always converted to 48kHz/16bit. 96kHz/24bit All types of signals including 96kHz/24bit are output in their original format. However, if the signal is encrypted for copyright protection purposes, the signal is only output as 48kHz/16bit.
The analogue audio signals from the LINE OUT L/ R (AUDIO) jacks are not affected by this setting and keep their original sampling frequency level.
