Set the audio output format to ANALOG, SPDIF/PCM or SPDIF/RAW.

ANALOG: Analog will have no signal out from “ digital out ” jacks.

SPDIF/RAW: Will generate raw signal only from “ digital out ” jacks.

SPDIF/PCM: Will have sampling of 44.1kHz to 48 kHz and also generate signal out from “ digital out ” jacks.

The default setting is SPDIF/RAW.

Notes

•When playing DVD audio, please select ANALOG to get the highest performance of audio output from the analog 5.1CH jacks.

•When playing DVD video, please select the SPDIF/ RAW in order to have DTS/Dolby output from the digital out jacks.

•SPDIF/RAW will also provide output from analog 5.1CH jacks for the DVD Audio, with 20 bit sam- pling cycle compare to 24 bit sampling cycle at ANALOG Mode.

AUDIO SETUP

Selecting the dynamic range

In many listening situations, it is objectionable to allow the sound to become very loud, and thus the loudest sounds must be compressed downwards in level. Like- wise, the very quiet sounds would be inaudible and must be brought upwards in level to be heard. Dolby Digital satisfies these needs with dynamic range compres- sion.

To select one of the following settings, use the SETUP menu, selectAUDIO SETUP to access the COMPRESSION menu:

OFF, 1/8, 2/8, 3/8, 4/8, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, FULL.

The default setting is OFF.

Note

•The higher the setting selected will result in audio with a more fully compressed dynamic range.
