PCM is the standard method used to record digital music signals on Audio
CDs. For reasons of copyright protection, the digital output of PCM audio
signals may be limited to 48 kHz/16 bit. Choose [Up to 48 kHz] if the digital
audio outlet is used to connect your player to an amplifier that only processes
sampling frequencies of up to 48 kHz.

Change the setting to PCM if the connected equipment fails to decode the
relevant signal. High noise levels may otherwise damage your ears or the
loudspeakers. Adapt the settings to the ratings of your audio system.

Available in the Dolby Digital (DVD) format only.
The volume range is compressed by dynamically putting up the level of
soft passages and lowering the level of loud passages.
