Linn UNIDISK SC PLAYER owner manual Audio Setup, Mix-Mono, For DVD-Videos

Audio Setup

SPDIF Out (Digital outputs only)

Default setting: Off

If you are not using the UNIDISK SC’s digital audio outputs, set to Off.

If any of the UNIDISK SC’s digital outputs are connected to a Linn system controller, other external audio decoder or other device, set to Raw.

If you are recording to an external digital source (e.g. DAT player), set to LtRt PCM.

LPCM Out (Digital outputs only)

Default setting: LPCM 96K

If any of the UNIDISK SC’s digital outputs are connected to a Linn system controller, or any other processor which accepts a sampling rate of 96 kHz, set to LPCM 96K.

If the external processor does not accept a sampling rate of 96 kHz, set to LPCM 48K.

Notes:

Even when set to LPCM 96K some discs will only output at the lower rate of 48 kHz.

DVD-Video discs with CSS copy protection and have been recorded at a sample rate of 96 kHz will always output audio through the digital outputs at 48 kHz. DVD-Video discs without CSS copy protection will output at up to 96 kHz.

Audio signals from Super Audio CDs and DVD-Audio discs are output as analogue only. There is no output for these disc types from the digital connectors.

Dual Mono (Analogue and digital outputs)

Default setting: Stereo

This option is for DVD-Videos which have separate audio tracks for the left and right channels.

To hear only the left channel, set to L-Mono.

To hear only the right channel, set to R-Mono.

To combine the discrete left and right channels, set to

Mix-Mono.

For normal use (i.e. most discs), set to Stereo.

Midnight Movie (Analogue and digital outputs)

Default setting: Off

This option allows you to add compression to the Dolby Digital audio signal on DVD-Videos. Adding compression reduces sudden increases in volume, such as the sound of an explosion.

To add compression, set to On.

Dolby PL (Pro Logic) (Analogue outputs only)

Default setting: Auto

Dolby Pro Logic encoding is used by the UNIDISK SC to convert stereo signals to more than two channels in order to enhance the audio signal. Select the setting you wish to use with your source material.

For DVD-Videos

Off – Stereo tracks on a disc will play as stereo.

On – Stereo tracks on a disc can be played as stereo or decoded to up to five channels (depending on the number of speakers in your system and the audio mode selected – see Surround Sound and Audio Modes chapter).

Auto – The unit will read the code embedded on the disc and will automatically switch Pro Logic on or off.

For other stereo sources (CDs and auxiliary digital or analogue stereo sources)

Off – Stereo sources will always be output as stereo.

On or Auto – Stereo sources can be played as stereo or decoded to up to five channels (if permitted by the audio stream and dependent on the number of speakers in your system and the audio mode selected – see Surround Sound and Audio Modes chapter).
