DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM: Select “DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM” if you connected the DVD+VCR’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to a Dolby Digital decoder (or an amplifier or other equipment with a Dolby Digital decoder).

Stream/PCM: Select “Stream/PCM” if you connected the DVD+VCR’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to an ampli- fier or other equipment with a DTS decoder, Dolby Digital decoder or MPEG decoder.

Dynamic Range Control (DRC) DVD

With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s sound- track in the most accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However, you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds and the quietest ones). Then, you may listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.

Vocal DVD

Set Vocal to On only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is playing. The karaoke channels on the disc will mix into normal stereo sound.

PBC VCD2.0 VCD1.1

Set Playback Control (PBC) to On or Off.

On: Video CDs with PBC are played according to the PBC.

Off: Video CDs with PBC are played the same way as Audio CDs.

Auto Play DVD

You can set up the DVD Player so a DVD disc automat- ically starts playing whenever the DVD is inserted.

If Auto Play mode is set to On, this DVD player will search a title where playback time is longest and then play back the title automatically.

On: Auto Play function is activated.

Off: Auto Play function is not activated.

Note

The Auto Play function may not work for some DVDs.

B.L.E. (Black Level Expansion) DVD VCD2.0 VCD1.1

To select the black level of playback pictures. Set your preference and monitor’s ability.

On: Expanded grey scale. (0 IRE cut off)

Off: Standard grey scale. (7.5 IRE cut off)

Pluge (Blacker than Black) DVD

DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) DVD VCD2.0 VCD1.1

You can reduce ambient noise in the picture.

DNR1: Normal level

DNR2: Expanded level.

Off: Off.

Notes

–Actual picture enhancement may vary depending on the quality of the disc.

–While the DNR2 (expanded level) can provide additional improvement in the reduction of noise in the video signal, it may produce undesirable picture artifacts on some discs. Should this occur, select a more appropriate DNR level (nor- mal or off).

–Depending on the disc, some picture detail may be lost by the picture enhancement.

–A DVD audio disc with Dolby Digital or DTS soundtrack may be played, some DVD audio discs include moving pictures which may be modified by the above processes.
