PCM Downsampling, Dynamic Range Control

Setup

✎✎NOTE

`` Be sure to select the correct Digital Output or you will hear no sound or just loud noise.

`` If the HDMI device (AV receiver, TV) is not compatible with compressed formats (Dolby digital, DTS), the audio signal outputs as PCM.

`` Regular DVDs do not have BONUSVIEW audio and Navigation Sound Effects.

`` Some Blu-ray Discs do not have BONUSVIEW audio and Navigation Sound Effects.

`` This Digital Output setup does not effect the analogue (L/R) audio or HDMI audio output to your TV.

It effects the optical and HDMI audio output when your player is connected to an AV receiver.

`` If you play MPEG audio soundtracks, the audio signal outputs as PCM regardless of your Digital Output selections (PCM or Bitstream).

PCM Downsampling

Lets you set 48kHz and 96kHz PCM down- sampling on or off.

• Off : Select when the AV receiver connected to the player is 96kHz compatible.

• On : Select when the AV receiver connected to the player is not 96kHz compatible. 96kHz signals will be down converted to 48kHz.

✎✎NOTE

`` Even when PCM Downsampling is set to Off, some discs will only output downsampled audio through the optical digital outputs.

HDMI

•If your TV is not compatible with compressed multi-channel formats (Dolby Digital, DTS), the player may output PCM 2ch downmixed audio even though you selected Bitstream (either Re- encoded or Unprocessed) in the setup menu.

•If your TV is not compatible with PCM sampling rates over 48kHz, the player may output 48kHz downsampled PCM audio even though you set PCM Downsampling to Off.

Dynamic Range Control

You can listen at low volumes, but still hear dialog clearly.

This is only active if your player detects a Dolby Digital signal.

•Auto : The Dynamic Range Control will be set automatically based on the information provided by the Dolby TrueHD Soundtrack.

•Off : You can enjoy the movie with the standard Dynamic Range.

•On : When Movie soundtracks are played at low volume or through smaller speakers, the system can apply appropriate compression to make low-level content more intelligible and prevent dramatic passages from getting too loud.

Downmixing Mode

Lets you select how the player will downmix multi- channel audio into fewer channels.

• Normal Stereo : Downmixes the multi-channel audio into two channel stereo. Choose when connected to equipment that does not support virtual surround functions such as Dolby Pro Logic.

• Surround Compatible : Downmixes multi- channel audio into surround compatible stereo. Choose when connected to equipment that supports virtual surround functions such as Dolby Pro Logic.
