Linear PCM Out

With this setting you can conﬁgure the DPC-7.7 to out- put digital audio with higher sampling rates (e.g.,

96 kHz) as it is or down sample it to 48 kHz.

If the AV component you connect to the DPC-7.7’s digi- tal audio outputs supports 96 kHz digital audio, select Down Sample Off. Otherwise, select Down Sample On.

Down Sample On: 96 kHz digital audio is down sampled and output at 48 kHz.

Down Sample Off (default): 96 kHz digital audio is output as it is.

Notes:

•Some copy-protected DVD-Video discs may use

96 kHz digital audio only for A/D conversion to the analog audio outputs.

•With some discs, even if you select Down Sample Off, the digital audio will be down sampled to 48 kHz, and in some cases may not be output by the DPC-7.7’s dig- ital audio outputs.

Dynamic Range Control (Dolby Digital only)

With the Dynamic Range Control function you can reduce the dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so that you can still hear quiet parts even when listening at low volume levels—ideal for watching movies late at night when you don’t want to disturb anyone.

Off (default): The full dynamic range is preserved.

On: The dynamic range of Dolby Digital material is compressed.

Notes:

•The impact of the Dynamic Range Control function depends on the Dolby Digital material that you are playing and with some material there will be little or no effect.

•When the DPC-7.7 is set to Standby, this function is automatically set to off.
