DOWN MIX
To playback a DVD VIDEO
disc recorded with surround
multichannel audio
correctly, the DOWN MIX
setting must be properly
made according to your
audio system. Note that this
setting affects the analog audio output signal from the
AUDIO OUT jacks when playing back a DVD VIDEO disc
recorded with surround multichannel audio.
•Lt/Rt
When you enjoy surround audio by connecting the
unit’s AUDIO output to a surround decoder or an
internal amplifier.
•L
0/R0
When you enjoy conventional 2-channel stereo audio
by connecting the unit’s AUDIO output to a stereo
amplifier/receiver or television set, or when you
duplicate audio of a DVD VIDEO disc recorded with
surround audio to your MD, cassette, etc.
COMPRESSION
You can compress the dynamic
range of the sound if needed.
Using this function, you can
listen to sound at low volumes
easily.
•ON
Audio is played back with the dynamic range
compressed.
•OFF
Audio is played back as it was recorded.
MONITOR TYPE
You can select the monitor
type to match your TV
when you playback DVD
VIDEO discs recorded for
wide screen televisions.
• 4:3 LB (Letter Box Conversion)
Should be selected when you
connect a normal TV to the
unit.
When you play a wide picture
recorded on a DVD VIDEO disc,
the picture is displayed with
bands across the upper and
lower portions of the screen.
• 4:3 PS (Pan Scan Conversion)
Should be selected when
you connect a normal TV to
the unit. When you play a
wide picture recorded on a
DVD VIDEO disc, a portion of
the picture is automatically
cut off from the left and right
sides of the image.
Depending on the disc, it may not be possible to
playback in this mode. In that case, the picture is
played back as in 4:3 LB mode.
NOTES
• The unit does not provide the DTS decoding function.
• When playing a DVD VIDEO or Audio CD disc with DTS,
use a DTS decoder to get correct signals from your
speakers. Never use the unit's analog output jacks,
which output incorrect signals that may damage your
speakers.
• If you connect the analog outputs and digital outputs
simultaneously, be sure to select the source of the
amplifier correctly, or set the level control of the
amplifier connected to the analog outputs to minimum.
• While an Audio CD disc is selected (not only during
playback but also while stopped), the input signals from
the MIC 1/2 jacks are not output from the DIGITAL OUT
jack.
• When the KARAOKE function is active and the DVD
VIDEO disc is selected, you can enjoy the input signals
from the MIC 1/2 jacks with the DIGITAL OUT jack
(except recorded with linear PCM audio). In such case,
set the “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” to “PCM ONLY”.
NOTES
• The Down mix function does not work when the 3D
PHONIC function is activated.
• The DOWN MIX setting does not affect an MPEG or
Dolby Digital bitstream signal from DIGITAL OUT.
To enjoy the DOWN MIX effect from DIGITAL OUT when
playing back a disc recorded with the MPEG
multichannel or Dolby Digital format, set “DIGITAL
AUDIO OUTPUT” to “PCM ONLY” (see page 54).
• When playing back a disc recorded with DTS, you
cannot get the DOWN MIX effect from both DIGITAL
and ANALOG outputs.
