Settings for the Sound
(AUDIO SETUP)
“AUDIO SETUP” allows you to set the sound
according to the playback and connection
conditions.
Select “AUDIO SETUP” in the Setup
Display. To use the display, see “Using the
Setup Display” (page 68).
The default settings are underlined.
◆
AUDIO ATT (attenuation)
If the playback sound is distorted, set this
item to “ON.” The player reduces the audio
output level.
This function affects the output of the
following jacks:
– AUDIO OUT L/R 1/2 jacks
– 5.1CH OUTPUT jacks
◆
AUDIO DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
(DVD VIDEO/DVD-RW only)
Allows smaller sound to be heard at low
volume when playing a DVD that conforms
to “AUDIO DRC.” This feature applies only
to Dolby Digital-encoded soundtracks. This
affects the output from the following jacks:
– 5.1CH OUTPUT jacks
Notes
• When “DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to “D-PCM,”
you cannot set “AUDIO DRC” to “WIDE
RANGE.” Even if you have already set “AUDIO
DRC” to “WIDE RANGE,” when you set
“DOLBY DIGITAL” to “D-PCM,” “AUDIO
DRC” is changed to “STANDARD” forcibly.
• When “AUDIO DRC” is set to “WIDE RANGE,”
sound may not be output from the component
connected to the AUDIO OUT L/R 1/2 or HDMI
jack.
◆
AUDIO FILTER (except Super Audio CD)
Selects a digital filter to reduce noise above
22.05 kHz (Sampling frequency (Fs) of the
audio source is 44.1 kHz), 24 kHz (Fs is 48
kHz), or 48 kHz (Fs is above 96 kHz).
Note
There may be little effect by changing the digital
filter depending on the disc or playback
environment.
◆
DOWNMIX (DVD VIDEO/DVD-RW only)
Switches the method for mixing down to 2
channels when you play a DVD which has
rear sound elements (channels) or is recorded
in Dolby Digital format. For details on the
rear signal components, see “Displaying the
disc’s audio information” (page 49). This
function affects the output of the following
jacks:
– AUDIO OUT L/R 1/2 jacks
– DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL)/
HDMI OUT jack when “DOLBY
DIGITAL” or “DTS” is set to “D-PCM”
(page 74).
