General settings—PSM

•If you change the “AMP GAIN” setting from “HIGH PWR” to “LOW PWR” while the volume level is set higher than “VOL 30,” the unit automatically changes the volume level to “VOL 30.”

Disc setup menu

•When the language you have selected is not recorded on a disc, the original language is automatically used as the initial language. In addition, for some discs, the initial languages settings will not work as you set due to their internal disc programming.

•When you select “16:9” for a picture whose aspect ratio is 4:3, the picture slightly changes due to the process for converting the picture width.

•Even if “4:3 PAN SCAN” is selected, the screen size may become “4:3 LETTERBOX” for some discs.

About sounds reproduced through the rear terminals

•Through the analog terminals (Speaker out/LINE OUT): 2-channel signal is emitted. When playing a multi-channel encoded disc, multi-channel signals are downmixed. DTS sound cannot be reproduced. (AUDIO—DOWN MIX: see page 31.)

•Through DIGITAL OUT (optical):

Digital signals (Linear PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG Audio) are emitted through this terminal. (For more details, see table below.)

To reproduce multi-channel sounds such as Dolby Digital, DTS, and MPEG Audio, connect an amplifier or a decoder compatible with these multi-channel sources to this terminal, and set “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” correctly. (See page 31.)

Output signals through the DIGITAL OUT terminal

Output signals are different depending on the “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” setting on the setup menu (see page 31).
