multiple audio channels are recorded in Dolby Digital (AC-3)
format, the higher-numbered channel audio recorded in
Dolby Digital (AC-3) format is played.
• OFF: No priority given.
• AUTO: Priority given.
Notes
• When you set this item to “ON”, the language may change
depending on the “AUDIO” settings in “LANGUAGE
SETUP.” The “TRACK SELECTION” setting has higher
priority than that of “AUDIO” settings in “LANGUAGE
SETUP” (page 33).
• Depending on the DVD, the audio with priority may be
predetermined. In this case, you cannot give priority to the
Dolby Digital (AC-3) format by selecting “AUTO.”

SURROUND*
Switches the mixing down methods when you play a DVD on
which the sound in Dolby Digital (AC-3) format is recorded.
• ON: when the player is connected to an audio component
that conforms to Dolby surround, Dolby Pro Logic
surround, etc.
• OFF : when the player is connected to a normal audio
component.
* The setting affects the connectors as follows:
–LINE OUT (AUDIO 1, 2) connectors
–DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL, COAXIAL) connectors.
p
DIGITAL OUT
Switches the methods of outputting audio signals from the
DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors on the
rear panel of the player.
• PCM: when the player is connected to an audio component
without a built-in Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder
If you play the Dolby Digital (AC-3) sound track, the player
outputs no sound.
• DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM: when the player is connected to
audio component with a built-in Dolby Digital (AC-3)
decoder
• D-PCM (Downmix PCM): when you play the Dolby Digital
(AC-3) sound tracks, the output audio signals are mixed
down to 2 channels. By the settings of the item
“SURROUND,” you can select whether the signals contain
the surround component or not. The output audio signals
from the 5.1 OUTPUT connectors are also mixed down in
the same way. To enjoy the original Dolby Digital (AC-3)
sound through the 5.1 OUTPUT connectors, do not set this
item to “D-PCM.”

strange sound will come out from the speakers,
affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be
damaged.

there may be no effect on the sound.

OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
