If you choose the 48khz, no matter what sampling rate the audio is(could be 96khz) it will be truncated down to 48khz(not as good as 96khz sampling rate)

CD's are PCM, two channel high sampling high bit rate DVD's are PCM, DVD-A's are PCM.
Hey Terrence, your last statement was a bit confusing, If CD's are PCM format how come they don't play/sound as a PCM disk does?

And when I play a High-bit rate disk (PCM) my receiver clicks over to 96khz, but not with regular CD's. Both playing through DVD player .
I respect your knowledge, but I feel you left me and others in the dark on this one. I understand the setting part on the player, but the difference of CD's, PCM (high bit-rate) CD's.
