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. For details on using the display, see
“Using the Setup Display” (page 65).
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:
— LINE OUT L/R (AUDIO) 1/2 jacks
— 5.1CH OUTPUT jacks

AUDIO DRC (Dynamic Range Control)

(DVD only)

Makes the sound clear when the volume is
turned down when playing a DVD that has
the AUDIO DRC function. This affects the
output from the following jacks:
— LINE OUT L/R (AUDIO) 1/2 jacks
— 5.1CH OUTPUT jacks
— DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or

COAXIAL) jack only when “DOLBY
DIGITAL” is set to “D-PCM” (page 71).

CENTER SPEAKER EQ (equalizer)

Makes the spoken track clear when speech is
difficult to hear. This function affects the
output to the center speaker that is connected
to 5.1CH OUTPUT.

DOWNMIX (DVD only)

Switches the mixing down methods when
you play a DVD on which rear signal
components such as LS, RS, or S are
recorded in Dolby Digital format. For details
on the rear signal components, see
“Changing the Sound” (page 48). This
function affects the output of the following
jacks:
— LINE OUT L/R (AUDIO) 1/2 jacks
— DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or

COAXICAL) jack when “DOLBY
DIGITAL ” is set to “D-PCM” (page 71).

OFF

Turns off the audio attenuation.
Normally, select this position.

Reduces the audio output level so that
no sound distortion occurs.
Select this when the playback sound
from the speakers is distorted.

DIGITAL OUT

Selects if audio signals are output via the
DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL)
jack.

Switches the method of outputting audio
signals when you connect the following
component using an optical or a coaxial
digital cord via the DIGITAL OUT
(OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack.

— Amplifier (receiver) with a built-in DTS or

DOLBY DIGITAL decoder

— MD or DAT deck
For connection details, see page 19.

setting “DIGITAL OUT” to “ON.”

DOLBY DIGITAL

Selects the Dolby Digital signals output via
the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or
COAXIAL) jack.

DTS

Select if DTS signals are output via the
DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL and COAXIAL)
jack.

NORMAL

Select this when the player is
connected to an audio component
that does not conform to Dolby
Surround (Pro Logic). All of the
output signals are downmixed to 2
channels without the Dolby
Surround (Pro Logic) effect.

Normally, select this position. When
you select “ON,” set “DOLBY
DIGITA L,” “DTS”, and “48kHz/
96kHz PCM”. For details on setting
these items, see “Setting the digital
output signal.”

OFF

The player does not output the audio
signals via the DIGITAL OUT
(OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack. The
influence of the digital circuit upon the
analog circuit is minimal.

set this. Otherwise, when you
play the Dolby Digital sound
track, a loud noise (or no sound)
will come out from the speakers,
affecting your ears or causing the
speakers to be damaged.

Select this when the player is
connected to an audio component
lacking a built-in DTS decoder. Note,
however, that the DTS signals
contained in a CD are output even if
“OFF” is selected.

Select this when the player is

having a built-in DTS decoder.
If the player is connected to an audio
component lacking a built-in DTS
decoder, do not set this. Otherwise,
when you play the DTS sound track, a
loud noise (or no sound) will come out
from the speakers, affecting your ears
or causing the speakers to be damaged.

48kHz/96kHz PCM (DVD only)

Selects the sampling frequency of the audio
signal to be output via the DIGITA L OUT
(OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jacks.

Notes

•

Even if you set “48kHz/96kHz PCM” in “AUDIO
SETUP” to “96kHz/24bit,” the sampling frequency
is converted to 48kHz/16bit when a SURROUND
mode (page 50) is selected.

•

The analog audio signals from the LINE OUT L/R
(AUDIO) 1/2 jacks are not affected by this setting
and keep their original sampling frequency level.

Settings for the Speakers

(SPEAKER SETUP)

To obtain the best possible surround sound,
set the size of the speakers you have
connected and their distance from your
listening position. Then use the test tone to
adjust the volume and the balance of the
speakers to the same level.
This setting is effective when connecting the
speaker with 5.1CH OUTPUT jacks (page
21).

Select “SPEAKER SETUP” in the Setup
Display. For details, see “Using the Setup
Display” (page 65).
The default settings are underlined.

The audio signals of DVDs are
always converted to 48kHz/16
bit.

96kHz/24bit

All types of signals including
96kHz/24bit are output in their
original format. However, if the
signal is encrypted for copyright
protection purposes, the signal is
only output as 48 kHz/16 bit.
If a receiver (amplifier) which
cannot accept 96Hz is connected
to the player, do not set this.
Otherwise, a loud noise may
come out from the speakers.

LARGE

Normally select this position.

SMALL

When the sound cracks or the
surround sound effects are difficult to
hear, select this. This activates the
Dolby Digital bass redirection
circuitry and outputs the bass
frequencies of the front speaker from
the subwoofer.

NONE

If you do not connect a center speaker,
select this.

REAR

* Rear speaker position (REAR/SIDE)

Correctly specify the location of the rear speakers to
enjoy the SURROUND effect.

•

Set to the “SIDE,” if the location of the rear

speakers corresponds to section

below.

•

Set to the “REAR,” if the location of the rear

speakers corresponds to section

below.

This setting affects only “VIRTUAL REAR
SHIFT, ” “VIRTUAL MULTI REAR,” and
“VIRTUAL MULTI DIMENSION” mode (page
51).

•

SUBWOOFER

Notes

•

The cut off frequency for the subwoofer is fixed at
120 Hz.

•

If your speakers are too small to reproduce low bass
frequencies, please set all speaker settings to
“SMALL” and utilize a subwoofer for low
frequency sound.

•

Even if there are fewer than 6 speakers connected,
the player distributes the audio signal components to
the front speakers.

DISTANCE

The default distance setting for the speakers
in relation to the listening position is shown
below.

Be sure to change the value in the Setup
Display when you move the speakers. The
default adjustments are in parentheses.

SMALL

NONE

If you do not connect rear speakers,
select this.

LARGE

(REAR/SIDE): Normally select this
position. Select either of these
according to the rear speaker’s
position*.

SMALL

(REAR/SIDE): When the sound
cracks or the surround sound effects
are difficult to hear, select this.
Select either of these according to the
rear speaker’s position*.
This activates the Dolby Digital bass
redirection circuitry and outputs the
bass frequencies of the rear speaker
from other speakers.

NONE

If you do not connect a subwoofer,
select this. This activates the Dolby
Digital bass redirection circuitry and
outputs the LFE signals from the front
speakers as long as the front speaker
size is set to “LARGE.”

YES

If you connect a subwoofer, select this
to output the LFE (low frequency
effect) channel from the subwoofer.
When you set the other speakers
settings to “SMALL,” the subwoofer
makes up for the missing bass
frequencies of the speakers.
