AUDIO

Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options. Set the recorder’s Audio Output according to the type of audio system you use.

Dolby Digital

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

MPEG

PCM: Select when connected to a 2-channel digital stereo amplifier. The Recorder’s digital audio outputs sounds in the PCM 2ch format when you play a DVD video disc recorded on the MPEG2 recording system.

Bitstream: Select “Bitstream” if you connected the Recorder’s DIGITAL OUT jack to a MPEG decoder (or an amplifier or other equipment with a MPEG decoder).

DRC (Dynamic Range Control)

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.
