Pioneer PRV-9000 DTS Out, 96kHz PCM Out, Getting STARTED, .1.3 Setting the Digital Audio Output

PRV-9000 Operating Instructions

For detailed information on Dolby Digital output, please refer to Chapter 4: GETTING STARTED, section 4.1.3 Setting the Digital Audio Output.

DTS Out:

There are four points to keep in mind when using DTS Out.

Noise is output when playing a DTS disc with a non-DTS-compatible amplifier.

A DTS DVD-Video disc is missing analog audio output signals.

When playing a DTS audio CD, noise comes through the analog port although the DTS Out is OFF.

To play a DTS audio CD, verify that Stereo is active. Use the AUDIO button to adjust the setting if necessary.

96kHz PCM Out:

The default setting is 96kHz > 48kHz. For more information, refer to Chapter

4:GETTING STARTED, section 4.1.3 Setting the Digital Audio Output.

MPEG Out:

The default setting is MPEG > PCM. For information on this option, refer to Chapter 4: GETTING STARTED, section 4.1.3 Setting the Digital Audio Output.

Audio DRC:

When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at a low volume, lower level sounds may drop out. This dropping also can affect low-level dialog. Switching ON Audio DRC (Dynamic Range Control) can bring up the low sounds while controlling the high peaks. The sound variations adjust to the recorded material.

The available settings have the following effects:

ON – balances dynamics

OFF – leaves original dynamics intact

Max – ‘squashes’ dynamics

Audio DRC is ineffective when listening to a disc through the digital output if the Dolby Digital Out option is set to Dolby Digital. Adjust the dynamic range from the AV amplifier/receiver to correct this situation.
