Installation and Setup

Audio Menu

Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output
options. Set the player’s AUDIO options
according to the type of audio system you use. 

Dolby Digital / DTS / MPEG

Bitstream:

Select “Bitstream” if you connect the

DVD Player’s DIGITAL OUT jack to an amplifier
or other equipment with a Dolby Digital, DTS or
MPEG decoder.

PCM (for Dolby Digital / MPEG):

Select when

connected to a two-channel digital stereo
amplifier. DVDs encoded in Dolby Digital or
MPEG will be automatically downmixed to two-
channel PCM audio.

Off (for DTS):

If you select “Off”, the DTS signal

is not output through the DIGITAL OUT jack.

Sample Freq. (Frequency)

If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of
handling 96 kHz signals, select 48 kHz. When
this choice is made, this unit automatically
converts any 96 kHz signals to 48 kHz so your
system can decode them. 

If your receiver or amplifier is capable of
handling 96 kHz signals, select 96 kHz. When
this choice is made, this unit passes each type
of signal through without any further processing. 

Check the documentation for your amplifier to
verify its capabilities.

Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s
soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic
presentation possible, thanks to digital audio
technology. However, you may wish to compress
the dynamic range of the audio output (the
difference between the loudest sounds and the
quietest ones). This allows you to listen to a
movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of
sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.

Vocal

Set to On only when a multi-channel karaoke
DVD is playing. The karaoke channels on the
disc mix into normal stereo sound.

Others Menu

The Auto Play settings can be changed. 

Auto Play 

You can set up the DVD Player so a DVD disc
automatically starts playing whenever the DVD is
inserted.
If Auto Play mode is set to On, this DVD player
will search for title that has the longest playback
time and then play back the title automatically.

On:

Auto Play function active.

Off:

Auto Play function is not active.

Note: 

The Auto Play function may not

work for some DVDs.
