    Samping Rate - 48 vs 98kHz...

    I believe those numbers are correct (admit, can't remember), but I know there is a choice on the setup menu of my HK receiver....what does changing this do exactly?

    It is actually 48khz and 96khz. Changing this on your menu simply tells the receivers DAC the highest sample rate to accept from the DVD player. My advice is to set it to 96khz so you don't have any worries about limiting the sample rate when playing back DVD's

    Terrence What About No Limits?

    On my DVD player I have in addition the option to go to 192 or No Limits. I'm currently using No Limits. Is that OK? Thanks

    I believe no limits allows the receiver to automatically choose the native sampling rate of the source on the fly. So that's a big perfecto for no limits.

    The only time you'd need to select a lower sampling rate is if you're playing a copy protected 96/24 DVD soundtrack (these are audio-only discs have been referred to as "DADs" or "super saturated stereo" or simply "96/24" discs) that forces the output to get downsampled before it can play back digitally. Since those discs are few and far between (typically high res digital audio will go out either in DVD-A or SACD, which are copy protected by force feeding the output through multichannel analog outputs), you should just go with the auto detect option and use a lower sampling rate only if you try playing something and only hear silence.
