AUDIO
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 equip-
ment 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 sig-
nals, 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.
DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
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.
