AUDIO

Dolby Digital	Bitstream
DTS	Bitstream
MPEG	PCM
Sample Freq.	48 kHz
DRC	On
Vocal	On
	Move	Select

Dolby Digital

Bitstream: Select “Bitstream” if you connected the DVD+VCR’s DIGITAL OUT jack to a Dolby Digital decoder (or an amplifier or other equipment with a Dolby Digital decoder).

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

DTS

Bitstream: Select “Bitstream” if you connected the DVD+VCR’s DIGITAL OUT jack to a DTS decoder (or an amplifier or other equipment with a DTS decoder). Off: If you select “Off”, the DTS signal through the DIGI- TAL OUT jack is not outputted.

MPEG

Bitstream: Select “MPEG” if you connected the DVD+VCR’s DIGITAL OUT jack to a MPEG decoder (or an amplifier or other equipment with a MPEG decoder). PCM: Select when connected to a 2-channel digital stereo amplifier. The DVD+VCR outputs sounds in the PCM 2ch format when you play a DVD video disc recorded on the MPEG1, or MPEG2 recording system.

Sample Freq. (Frequency)

To change the Sample Frequency setting, first select the desired Dolby Digital, DTS, and MPEG mode as indicated as above.

If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling 96 kHz signals, select 48 kHz. When this choice is made, this unit will automatically convert 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 will pass through each type of signal without any further processing.

Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s sound- track 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). Then, you may listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set DRC to “On” for this effect.

Vocal

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

OTHERS

The PBC and Auto Play settings can be changed.

PBC

Set Playback Control (PBC) to “On” or “Off”.

On: Video CDs with PBC are played according to the PBC.

Off: Video CDs with PBC are played the same way as Audio CDs.

Auto Play DVD

You can set up the DVD+VCR so a DVD disc automati- cally starts playing whenever the DVD is inserted.

If Auto Play mode is set to “On”, this DVD+VCR will search the title which playback time is the longest and then play back the title automatically.

On: Auto Play function is activated.

Off: Auto Play function is not activated.

Note

The Auto Play function may not work for some DVDs.
