unit’s DIGITALOUT jack to an amplifier or other
equipment with a Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG

automatically downmixed to two-channel PCM
audio.

Sample Freq. (Frequency)
If your receiver or amplifier is NOTcapable 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.
