AUDIO

Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options. Set the player’s AUDIO options according to the type of audio system you use.

Dolby Digital / DTS / MPEG

Bitstream – Select “Bitstream” if you connect this unit’s 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 amplifier. DVDs encoded in Dolby Digital, 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.

Sample 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.

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. 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.

Vocal

Set to On only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is playing. The karaoke channels on the disc mix into normal stereo sound.
