The choice of which soundtrack is played can be made either via the main menu of the DVD itself, or by scrolling through the soundtrack choices using the “Audio” button on the remote control (page 24).

This setting only affects the “Compressed + PCM” output. If a DTS soundtrack is selected, no signal will be present at the “PCM Only” output.

96 kHz PCM

A few DVDs include a PCM soundtrack with a sample rate of 96 kHz. This provides the highest possible audio performance from DVD-Video discs.

If your audio processor will accept a 96 kHz PCM audio signal, set this option to “96kHz”. If not, then set this option to “96kHz > 48kHz”. In this case the original soundtrack will be downsampled to the lower sample rate to allow compatibility.

This setting affects both the “Compressed +

PCM” output and the “PCM Only” output.

MPEG Audio

Another technology used to store the audio soundtrack on a DVD is MPEG audio. This was proposed for use in Europe, but was quickly supplanted by Dolby Digital by most film studios. Very few discs include an MPEG audio soundtrack.

If your audio processor accepts an MPEG audio signal, select “MPEG”. Otherwise set the MPEG audio option to “MPEG > PCM”.
