PCM Downsampling:
If you don’t have a surround sound receiver connected to the BD player, you should leave the PCM downsampling to 48 KHz, and proceed to the next setup menu item. This is true regardless of whether the audio is connected to the TV with HDMI or the analog stereo outputs.
If you have a surround sound receiver connected to the BD player, and you have connected to the surround receiver via the BD player’s analog multichannel audio outputs, this setting has no effect on the audio going to the analog outputs of the player. Leave the PCM downsampling to 48 KHz, and proceed to the next setup menu item.
If you have a surround sound receiver connected to the BD player, and you have connected to the surround receiver via the BD player’s HDMI output, this setting has no effect on the audio going to the HDMI output of the player. Leave the PCM downsampling to 48 KHz, and proceed to the next setup menu item.
If you have a surround sound receiver connected to the BD player via optical cable, set this menu item to the maximum PCM sampling rate that your surround receiver can accept (48 KHz or 96 KHz). If in doubt, consult your surround receiver’s manual or set to 48 KHz.
NOTE: Incorrectly setting the digital audio output’s PCM sampling rate too high may result in unpredictable audio playback.
Digital Output:
•PCM Stereo — Sets the output to PCM Stereo if you have not an audio receiver connected to your
•Bitstream HD — Lets your player send Dolby TrueHD or
•Bitstream Legacy — Sends a DTS or Dolby Digital bitstream from the disc over the HDMI and optical connections.
•Bitstream Mixed — Sends a mixed (PIP audio and movie audio) DTS audio stream over the HDMI and optical connections.This mode is primarily intended for use when you want to hear both PIP audio and the movie audio.
•PCM 5.1 — Sends a PCM audio signal of up to 5.1 channels over the HDMI connection and up to 2 channels over the optical connection.
•PCM 7.1 — Sends a PCM audio signal of up to 7.1 channels over the HDMI connection and up to 2 channels over the optical connection.
Dynamic Range Control:
Dynamic Range Control means that you can allow the BD player to make the loud parts of a movie’s audio track quieter than they would be in the theatre, without making the dialog of the actors any quieter.
This would be useful, for instance, when you want to watch a movie in the evening when others might be sleeping.
NOTES: This setup menu item has no effect unless:
•The device playing the disk’s audio (TV or surround audio receiver) is connected to the BD player’s analog audio outputs; OR
•you have selected “Bitstream Mixed” in the BD player’s audio setup menu.
When Dynamic Range Control is set to Off, movie soundtracks are played with the standard dynamic range.
When movie soundtracks are played at low volume or from smaller speakers, you can set Dynamic Range Control to On. Your player applies appropriate compression to make
Selecting the “Auto” option turns on the Dynamic Range Control for all BD movie soundtracks except Dolby TruHD. If you have selected a TruHD track on the BD disc, the “auto” selection tells the BD player to only turn on dynamic range control if information embedded in the TruHD sound track tells it to do so.
