AUDIO

Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options.
Set the player’s AUDIO options according to the type
of audio system you use. 

Dolby Digital / DTS / MPEG

Bitstream –

Select “Bitstream” if you connect this

DVD player’s DIGITAL OUT jack to an amplifier or
other equipment with a Dolby Digital, DTS or
MPEG decoder.

PCM (for Dolby Digital / MPEG) –

Select when

connected to a two-channel digital stereo amplifier.
DVDs encoded in Dolby Digital or MPEG will be
automatically downmixed to two-channel PCM
audio.

Off (for DTS):

If you select “Off”, the DTS signal is

not output through the DIGITAL OUT jack.

Sample Freq. (Frequency)

If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of
handling 96 kHz signals, select 48 kHz. When this
choice is made, this unit automatically converts any
96 kHz signals to 48 kHz so your system can decode
them. 

If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling 96
kHz signals, select 96 kHz.

Check the documentation for your amplifier to verify
its capabilities.

Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

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

Vocal

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