• DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT

To connect the unit’s digital output to an external device equipped

with a digital input, this item must be set correctly. See “Output

page 68 for details about the relation between the setting and

output signals.

Select one of the following settings:

PCM ONLY

Select when you connect to the linear PCM digital input

terminal of other audio equipment.

DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM

Select when you connect to the digital input terminal of

a Dolby Digital decoder or an amplifier with a built-in

Dolby Digital decoder.

STREAM/PCM

Select when you connect the digital input terminal of an

amplifier with a built-in MPEG Multichannel, DTS, or

Dolby Digital decoder, or the stand-alone unit of such a

decoder.

• D. (dynamic) RANGE COMPRESSION

You can compress the dynamic range (the difference of the

loudest sound to the softest sound) to enjoy a powerful sound even

at a low volume level when listening to Dolby Digital software.

This is useful when enjoying the Surround sound at night.

The effectiveness varies depends on a software.

•If Linear PCM (used for CD, SVCD, VCD and some DVDs), MPEG Multichannel, or MP3 sound is played back, the Surround mode will be turned off.

ON • If multi-channel software is played back, the corresponding Surround mode—Dolby Digital or DTS—will be turned on automatically.

•If 2-channel software is played back, Dolby Pro Logic will be turned on.

OFF The Surround mode will be deactivated for all discs. (The multi-channel signal is mixed down to 2-channel signal.)
