This player is compatible with DVD, Video CD, and CD disc formats. Users already familiar with Video CD or CD will already be familiar with some of the functions the player is capable of performing. With DVD, an even greater number of possibilities and functions are available.

Note

DVDs differ in content and do not all contain the same information. Therefore some functions in this section may not work or have no effect on some DVDs.

Getting Surround Sound from Stereo Speakers – DVD/Video CD

Depending on the audio source, this player is capable of switching between Virtual Dolby Digital (multichannel audio sources) and TruSurround (stereo audio sources) to produce a surround sound effect from stereo speakers.

This function works only when connections are made to the AUDIO OUT jacks.

Notes

•There is no effect when the audio source is 96 kHz LPCM or during CD playback.

•While the Virtual Dolby Digital function is on, when AUDIO is pressed on the remote, “VDD” appears at the upper left of the screen.

•When the Virtual Dolby Digital function is on during playback, and “Dolby Digital 3 PCM” is selected in the [Dolby Digital Out] setting in the Setup screen Audio 1 menu, there is no audio output from the digital output jacks.

TruSurround and Virtual Dolby Digital

TruSurround uses technology that simulates multichannel surround sound using only two speakers. Virtual Dolby Digital works in conjunction with Dolby Digital audio sources to create a realistic surround sound. Virtual Dolby Digital is selected automatically when Dolby Digital sources are loaded.

Adjusting the Dynamic Range of the Audio Soundtrack – DVD

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 2 menu.
