– Digital output

¶Digital output selection enables you to specify the type of digital output suitable for your receiver.

¶Select OFF to deactivate the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT.

¶Select PCM only if your receiver is not capable of decoding multichannel audio.

¶Select ALL (default setting), if you had connected your DIGITAL AUDIO OUT to a multichanel decoder receiver.

Note:

–Digital output is not available for SACD and MP3 discs.

–Analogue output

Select Stereo, Dolby Surround-compatible, 3D Sound or Multi-channel.

Multi-channel: Select this setting when using a multi-channel audio/(video) receiver with six inputs. In this mode, the player will perform DTS decoding or Dolby Digital 5.1-channel decoding when applicable, and Dolby Pro Logic decoding on DVD-Video and Video-CD discs with 2- channel sound tracks. No Dolby Pro Logic decoding is done with (Super) Audio CD discs. Stereo: In this setting, the 5.1 audio channels are down-mixed to a stereo signal. Select this setting when connecting to a TV, stereo amplifier/ receiver, etc.

Notes:

–Multichannel output and downmixed stereo output are not available simultaneously.

–When multichannel is selected as analogue output, the AUDIO OUT (Left/ Right) will deliver the Centre channel data and not the downmixed Left/Right.

Dolby Surround-compatible: Select this setting when using an equipment with a Dolby Surround Pro Logic decoder. In this setting, the

5.1audio channels (Dolby Digital, MPEG-2, DTS) are downmixed to a Dolby Surround-compatible 2-channel output.

3D-Sound: In a setup without rear speakers (analogue stereo output), 3D Sound remixes the six channels of digital surround into a two- speaker output while retaining all of the original audio information.The result is the listening sensation of being surrounded by multiple speakers.

During DVD or Video-CD playback, these values can be selected directly with the ‘SOUND MODE’ key.

–Night Mode

When set to ON, the dynamics of your sound output are optimised. High volume outputs are softened, enabling you to watch your favourite action movie without disturbing others.

–Karaoke vocal

Put this setting to ON only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is being played.The karaoke channels on the disc will then be mixed into a normal stereo sound.

–SACD Bass Management Bypass

Allows you (with suitable speaker system) to bypass the bass management system for multi- channel SACD playback.

This helps to preserve maximum sound quality of your SACD.

Warning!

–When SACD Bass Management Bypass is ON, speaker setting will not be applied during multi-channel SACD playback.
