Adjusting Audio and Video Settings

Adjusting the Dynamic Range of the Audio Soundtrack

Audio DRC stands for Audio Dynamic Range Compression. When Audio DRC is on, soft sounds such as dialog can be heard more clearly without making loud sounds even louder. Select from three levels of compression depending on how much effect you want. When Audio DRC is set to [Off], there is no effect on the audio source.

Make changes to the [Audio DRC] setting in the Setup screen Audio menu.

•Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby Digital audio sources.

•The level of Audio DRC may differ depending on the DVD.

•If you have set the [Dolby Digital Out] to [PCM] and the [Digital Out] setting to [On], the Audio DRC effect is output through the digital out jack.

•The effect of Audio DRC depends on your speakers and AV amplifier settings.

Setting the Digital Audio Output

This player is capable of digital audio output for Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG, and signals with a sampling rate of 96 kHz. Make settings in the Setup screen Audio menu to reflect the capabilities of the components that you have made digital connections to.

•If you have made only stereo line connections (analog) using the supplied audio cord, it is not necessary to make any changes in this menu.

■Dolby Digital Out

This player is capable of outputting the Dolby Digital surround sound audio signal. When the player is connected to an AV component that has a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, select [Dolby Digital]. This player can also convert the Dolby Digital signal to a digital Linear PCM signal, the same digital signal output from a CD. Select [Dolby Digital 3 PCM] when you have made connections to an amplifier or receiver with a Dolby Pro Logic decoder or a Digital Analog Converter (DAC).
