MPEG Out
• Default setting: MPEG 3 PCM
You only need to make this setting if you connected the player to another component (AV amplifier, etc.) using one of the digital outs.
If your AV amplifier (or other connected component) is compatible with MPEG audio, set this to MPEG, otherwise set it to MPEG 3 PCM (MPEG audio is converted to more compatible PCM audio). Check the manual that came with the other component if you’re unsure whether it is MPEG audio compatible.

SACD Playback 
• Default setting: 2ch Area
SACD discs can be divided up into several different areas – stereo audio, 5.1 channel audio and, for hybrid SACDs, standard CD audio. The SACD Playback setting enables you to select which area of the disc you want to play.

Note
If you select an area that isn’t on the disc loaded, a different area of the disc will play. For example, if you choose standard CD audio but the disc loaded is not a hybrid SACD, the stereo SACD audio will play.
Virtual Surround
• Default setting: Off
If you connected your DVD player using only the stereo analog outputs and set Audio Out (see below) to 2 Channel, you can simulate surround sound by setting Virtual Surround to TruSurround.

Note
•There is no effect when the audio source is DVD- Audio, DTS or 96 kHz LPCM or during CD, MP3 or SACD playback.
•The digital audio output level is reduced when playing 2 channel Dolby Digital DVDs or Video CDs with TruSurround selected. If you play a multichannel Dolby Digital DVD with Dolby Digital to PCM conversion (see page 41) and TruSurround selected, there is no digital output.
•How good the surround effect is varies with the disc.
TruSurround
TruSurround uses technology that simulates multichannel surround sound using only two speakers.
