Dynamic Range compression circuitry so

low volume levels.

Figure 14

When you have made your selection using the

⁄

Buttons

to highlight the desired

option, press the

Enter Button

and note

that the circle next to your choice will fill in. The
menu system will then automatically return to
the status listing.

If you have no other changes to make after set-
ting this default, press the

Menu Button

to remove the Setup Menu from the screen, or
press the

Play/Pause Button

begin or resume playback.

Note that the performance of the Dynamic
Range function is dependent on the audio
format of the disc being played, and whether
or not the disc’s soundtrack is capable of this
feature.

Note that you can achieve the same effect by
using the DCR600

’s Night mode. Simply press

the

Main Input Selector

, the

Night

Button

, then the

⁄

Buttons

to scroll through the dynamic range choices.
Press the

Set Button

to enter the selec-

tion. If you choose to use the Dynamic
Range/Night Mode feature, select it using
either the DVD600

the DCR600

, but

not

both simultaneously.

Using the Digital Audio Output

DVD players accommodate a variety of audio
formats, including Dolby Digital, DTS and the
PCM audio format used by conventional CD
discs and some DVD playback. The DCR600

receiver can automatically detect any of these
digital formats. Depending on the format of the
discs in your library, you need to set a default
for the type of audio outputs accommodated.

Although the DVD600

will play all of these disc

types, this setting creates a default that tells
which way to present the soundtracks when
there is a choice.

To select a Digital Audio Output default, you
must be viewing the Setup Menu (Figure 1),
which is available by pressing the

Menu

Button

while the unit is in the Stop mode.

At the Setup Menu, press the

Button

until the Digital Audio Out option is highlighted.
Next, press the

Enter Button

. Select

one of the three choices in the options box
(Figure 15) using the

⁄

Buttons

The choices are as follows:

• PCM:

Choose this setting if most of your

library consists of conventional CDs.

• Dolby Digital:

Choose this setting only if you

do not plan on listening to any DTS selections.
Should you choose to watch a DVD movie or
listen to a CD which has a DTS audio track,
you must return to this menu and change this
selection to DTS.

• DTS:

We recommend that you choose this

setting, since the DCR600

receiver included

with your system is capable of automatically
detecting and decoding any of the three
formats of DTS, Dolby Digital and PCM.

Figure 15

NOTE:

If you select the DTS option, your

receiver or processor MUST be capable of
decoding DTS audio. If the DTS option is chosen
and the unit is connected to a product that can-
not support DTS, no audio will be heard when a
DTS disc is played.

Remember, regardless of the option chosen, you
may still have to adjust the settings on your
DVD disc or audio equipment, if you do not use
the DCR600

, to match the output of the

DVD600

. In addition, the choice of which audio

formats are available is limited by the type
of material recorded on the disc when it was
authored.

When you have made your selection using the

⁄

Buttons

to highlight the desired

option, press the

Enter Button

and note

that the circle next to your choice will fill in. The
menu system will then automatically return to
the status listing.

If you have no other changes to make after set-
ting this default, press the

Menu Button

to remove the Setup Menu from the screen, or
press the

Play/Pause Button

begin or resume playback.

Setting the Linear PCM Bit Rate

If the DVD600

detects a high-resolution, 96kHz

audio signal encoded on a disc, it can either
pass the signal through to the receiver or, if the
receiver is not capable of processing a 96kHz bit
rate signal, the DVD600

can downsample the

signal to 48kHz. The Linear PCM menu enables
you to configure the DVD600

to match your

receiver by selecting which bit rate the
DVD600

should apply.

The bit rate is set at the factory to default to
passing the full 96kHz signal through, as the
DCR600

receiver is capable of processing this

signal. Therefore, you should not adjust this fea-
ture unless you use the DVD600

with another

receiver that is not capable of processing a
96kHz signal.
