•The appearance of Audio and Subtitle not only depended on the setting of Home Menu when play a DVD disc; it depends on what languages of audio and subtitle were pre-recorded in the disc also.

•For some of DVD movies, the audio cannot be changed by set the Home Menu, but you have to access the DVD disc menu with ‘Disc menu/list’ button (on remote control) to change the language of audio.

Audio Settings

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 / DTS / MPEG

[Bitstream]: Select [Bitstream] if you connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack to an amplifier or other equipment with a Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG decoder.

[PCM] (for Dolby Digital / MPEG): Select when connected to a two-channel digital stereo amplifi- er. DVDs encoded in Dolby Digital or MPEG will be automatically downmixed to two-channel PCM audio.

[OFF] (for DTS): If you select [OFF], the DTS signal is not output through the DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack.

Sampling Freq. (Frequency)

If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling 96 kHz signals, select 48 kHz. When this choice is made, this unit automatically converts any 96 kHz signals to 48 kHz so your system can decode them.

If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling 96 kHz signals, select 96 kHz. When this choice is made, this unit passes each type of signal through without any further processing.

Check the documentation for your amplifier to verify its capabilities.

DRC (Dynamic Range Control)

With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s soundtrack 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). This allows you to listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set DRC to [ON] for this effect.
