pAUDIO ATT (attenuation)
Selects the setting of the output from the LINE OUT (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 OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
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 OUT connectors only when “PCM” in ”DIGITAL OUT” is set to “ON,” and it affects the output from the LINE OUT (AUDIO), EURO AV (1, 2) and 5.1CH OUTPUT connectors.
•STANDARD: Normally select this position.
•TV: 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 effects on the sound.

•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
•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.”
pDOWNMIX*
Switches the mixing down methods when you play a DVD on which 3 or more channels in Dolby Digital format are recorded.
•DOLBY SURROUND: when the player is connected to an audio component that conforms to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic).
•NORMAL: when the player is connected to a normal audio component.
