xTRACK SELECTION

Gives the sound track which contains the highest number of channels priority when you play a DVD on which multiple audio formats (PCM, DTS or Dolby Digital format) are recorded.

•OFF : No priority given.

•AUTO : Priority given.

Notes

•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 the “AUDIO” settings in “LANGUAGE SETUP” (page 46).

•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 audio channel is recorded in DTS format.

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

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

xAUDIO ATT (attenuation)

If the playback sound is distorted, set this item to “ON.” The player reduces the audio output level.

Selects the setting of the output from the AUDIO OUT (1,

2)connectors according to the audio equipment to be connected.

• OFF: turns off the audio attenuation. Normally select this position.

• ON: reduces the audio output level so that no sound distortion occurs. Select this when the playback sound from the built-in TV speakers is distorted.

Note

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

xAUDIO DRC (Dynamic Range Control)

Makes the sound clear when the volume is turned down when playing a DVD. This function works only when you play a DVD which has the AUDIO DRC function. This affects the output from the DIGITAL OUT connectors only when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to “D-PCM” in ”DIGITAL OUT,” and it affects the output from the AUDIO OUT (1, 2) connectors.

•STANDARD: Normally select this position.

•TV MODE: makes the low sounds clear even if you turn the volume down. 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.

Note

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