This function allows you to select the outputs and format for audio playback. Always select the setting that best matches your amplifier’s capabilities and input connectors. The “Bitstream” and “PCM” options refer to the DV-C501’s digital outputs. See also “Other Audio Playback Options” on page 12.

Bitstream: Select this option if your amplifier is equipped with a digital input (optical or coaxial) and a Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG1, or MPEG2 decoder. The DV-C501 outputs digital audio information in the Bitstream format when you play back a DVD video disc with Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG1, or MPEG2 encoding.

Analog2Ch: Select this option if the DV-C501 is connected to the audio inputs of your TV set, or an analog input pair of your external amplifier. Note that even this analog connection may allow you to take advantage of the amplifier’s Dolby Pro Logic processor.

PCM: Select this option if the DV-C501 is connected to a digital input of your amplifier and if you would like the sound to be played back in stereo (e.g. for audio CDs). If you select “PCM”, the audio data of DVD video discs with Dolby Digital, MPEG1, or MPEG2 encoding is automatically converted to 2-channel PCM, so that you lose the surround information. See also the table on page 29.

Dynamic Range Control DVD

Karaoke Vocal DVD

DVD Karaoke discs sometimes also contain a vocal track you probably don’t need for Karaoke applications. That is why the DV-C501 allows you to switch the lead vocal off.

Off: The lead vocal track is muted.

On: If available on the selected DVD Karaoke disc, the lead vocal track is output.

Notes:

•The Karaoke Vocal feature is only available during playback of Dolby Digital-encoded (multi-channel) DVD Karaoke discs.

•For optimum Karaoke enjoyment, be sure to use appropriate audio equipment, such as an external amplifier.

Extended Audio Feature DVD

Some DVD video discs contain a special track that describes the on-screen actions for visually impaired persons. Your DV- C501 is set to automatically output this track if available. If this is not necessary, switch this function off.

Off: The Extended Audio Feature track is muted.

On: The Extended Audio Feature is active.

Dynamic Range Control allows you to “compress” the dynamic range of a DVD’s sound track, so that you can lower the volume without losing extremely soft signals. This is especially useful when you are watching a movie late at night.

Off: The full dynamic range is maintained.

On: Low-level signals are slightly boosted so as to remain audible at a low volume setting.

Notes:

•This function is only available during playback of Dolby Digital- encoded DVD video discs.

•The degree of dynamic range reduction may differ depending on the DVD video disc.
