pAUDIO ATT (attenuation)

Selects the setting of the output from the LINE OUTPUT (AUDIO), EURO AV (1, 2) and 5.1CH OUTPUT connectors according to the audio equipment to be connected.

•OFF: turns off the audio attenuation.

•ON: reduces the audio output level so that no sound distortion occurs.

Note

The setting does not affect the output from the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.

pAUDIO FILTER

Selects the type of digital filter to reduce the noise of a frequency higher than 22.05kHz (fs 44.1kHz), 24kHz (fs 48kHz) or 48kHz (fs 96kHz).

•SHARP: makes the sound clear and provides smooth sound reproduction. Normally set this position.

•SLOW: makes the sound warm and deep.

Note

Depending on the disc, the effect on the sound may be difficult to hear.

pAUDIO DRC (Dynamic Range Control)

Makes the sound clear with the volume turned down at night, etc., when you play a DVD. This affects the output from the DIGITAL OUTPUT connectors only when “PCM” in ”DIGITAL OUT” is set to “ON,” and it affects the output from the LINE OUTPUT (AUDIO), EURO AV (1, 2) and 5.1CH OUTPUT connectors.

•STANDARD: Normally select this position.

•TV MODE: makes the low sound clear even if you turned the volume down, so it is good for playing at night. It is especially recommended when you listen to the sound using the speakers of the TV.

•WIDE RANGE: It gives you the feeling of being at a live performance. When you use high quality speakers, it is more effective.

Notes

•When you play DVDs without the AUDIO DRC function, there may be no effect on the sound.

•When this item is set to “WIDE RANGE,” the sound volume from other than the 5.1CH OUTPUT connectors may be less than usual.

•“WIDE RANGE” cannot be selected when you have selected “NONE” in “SIZE” under “SPEAKER SETUP.”

pTRACK SELECTION

Gives the sound track which contains the highest number of the channels priority when you play a DVD on which multiple audio formats are recorded. If multiple audio channels are recorded in PCM, DTS, MPEG AUDIO or Dolby Digital format, the higher-numbered channel audio recorded in PCM, DTS, MPEG AUDIO or Dolby Digital format is played.

•OFF : No priority given.

•AUTO : Priority given.

Notes

•When the player stores the settings in memory with the Playback Memory function, the player may not give priority even if you select “AUTO.”

•When you set this item to “AUTO,” the language may change depending on the “AUDIO” settings in “LANGUAGE SETUP.” The “TRACK SELECTION“ setting has higher priority than that of “AUDIO” settings in “LANGUAGE SETUP” (page 60).

•If you set “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “OFF,” the DTS sound track is not played even if you set this item to “AUTO” and the highest-numbered channel audio is recorded in DTS format.

•If PCM, DTS, MPEG AUDIO and Dolby Digital sound tracks have the same number of the highest channels, the player selects PCM, DTS, Dolby Digital and MPEG AUDIO sound tracks, in this order.

•Depending on the DVD, the audio with priority may be predetermined. In this case, you cannot give priority to the DTS, MPEG AUDIO or Dolby Digital format by selecting “AUTO.”
