Setting sound options (Audio Setup)

“Audio Setup” allows you to adjust your audio settings according to the playback conditions. The default settings are underlined.

Select “Audio Setup” in the Setup display.

xAudio Digital Out

Switches the methods of outputting audio signals when you, connect 1. a digital component such as a receiver (amplifier) with a digital connector, 2. an audio component with a built-in decoder (Dolby Digital or DTS), 3. a DAT or MD deck, via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) connector using an optical digital cable. For connection details, see page 8.

You cannot adjust “Dolby Digital” and “DTS” if you set “DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL)” to “Off.”

xDIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL)

Selects output signals via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) connector.

The item that you have selected in the System Configuration menu will be the current setting here.

•On : Normally select this position.

When you select “On,” you can set “Dolby Digital” and “DTS.”

•Off : when the console does not output sound signals via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) connector, the influence of the digital circuit upon the analog circuit is at a minimum.

Note

When you select “Off,” you cannot set “Dolby Digital” and “DTS.”

xDolby Digital

Selects the Dolby Digital signals to be output via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) connector.

•On : when the console is connected to an audio component with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder.

If the console is connected to an audio component without a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, do not turn this option on. If you select this option by mistake, when you play a Dolby Digital audio track, a loud noise (or no sound) will come out from the speakers, possibly hurting your ears or damaging the speakers.

•Off : when the console is connected to an audio component without a built-in Dolby Digital decoder.

xDTS

Selects the DTS signals to be output via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) connector.

•On : when the console is connected to an audio component with a built-in DTS decoder.

If the console is connected to an audio component without a built-in DTS decoder, do not turn this option on. If you select this option by mistake, when you play a DTS audio track, a loud noise (or no sound) will come out from the speakers, possibly hurting your ears or damaging the speakers.

•Off : when the console is connected to an audio component without a built-in DTS decoder.

xAudio Track Auto Select Mode

Gives the audio 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.

•On : Priority given.

•Off : No priority given.

Notes

•When you set this item to “On,” the language may change depending on the “Audio” settings in “Language Setup.”

The “Audio Track Auto Select Mode“ setting has higher priority than the “Audio” settings in “Language Setup” (page 18).

•If you set “DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL)” to “On” and

“DTS” to “Off” in “Audio Setup,” the DTS audio track is not played even if you set this item to “On” and the highest-numbered audio channel is recorded in DTS format.

•If PCM, DTS and Dolby Digital audio tracks have the same number of channels, the console selects PCM, Dolby Digital and DTS audio 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 “On.”

x DVD Video Volume

If the audio output level of the DVD is low, you can turn up the volume of the DVD. (Note: DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) must be set to “Off” to access this function.)

•+2 : You can turn up the volume.

•+1 : You can turn up the volume.

•Standard : Original audio volume. Normally select this position.

Note

Depending on the DVD, the sound may be distorted if you select “+1” or “+2.”

After changing DVD settings

To save your changes, be sure to eject the DVD before pressing the 1/RESET button or turning off the unit with the MAIN POWER switch. Please note that changes will not be saved if you reset or turn off the console without first ejecting the DVD.
